Re: deductions from settlement
It depends. Most insurance companies continue to pay your biweekly checks until the judge's actual decision is circulated. Under any circumstances, once the actual decision is filed, you should get your settlement check very quickly. The law requires that it be paid within 30 days of the decision.
