Legal Question in Family Law in California

Am a major litigant in a class action settlement that just settled and court has approved preliminary approval and with judges decision later to follow for final approval in a month or so. However, it involves the lunch issue which was totally for me to eat my lunch on my time. Nevertheless, is that considered community property in a separation or is it individual property? I feel ripped off that they will issue it as a wage!
