Benefits: Either (1) a credit voucher to be used for the purchase of R+F products (maximum $250) or (2) a cash benefit (maximum $175). The settlement allocates $8 million for credit voucher benefits and $30 million for cash benefits. Those showing proof of purchase are eligible for an additional maximum benefit amount, of up to $500 in vouchers or $350 in cash.
