If you’re wondering if it’s OK for Booker to have said “shithole” on CNN, the answer is yes because it’s cable TV, not broadcast TV. https://t.co/QVe1DcQhAf https://t.co/QZ7zjOCNWc — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, separate from all of this, you can still file for cash for the *time* you spent on recovering from the breach. That’s for the hours you spent on the phone trying to freeze your credit, report fraudulent charges, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

It doesn’t sound like if you file for a check today that you’ll be eligible to get any additional money that *might* be added to the fund in the outyears. — PolitiTweet.org

Then from there, people who file for “up to $125" get whatever is available under the new cap divided by the number of people who file after the 4.5-year mark. — PolitiTweet.org

If, 4.5 years after the settlement, there’s still money left over in the wider $300 million fund, some of it will go toward expanding the original $31 million fund for these credit monitoring alternatives. — PolitiTweet.org

I spent the afternoon going back and forth with the FTC on this. LPT: If you still want to try to get a slice of this money, you might want to WAIT a few years. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

Problem is, out of the $300 million Equifax paid in the settlement, only $31 million is going toward these checks (which are meant to cover the cost of non-Equifax credit monitoring). Divide $31 million by all the people who are asking for money and… you get the idea. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

Here’s how it works: Under the settlement, if you were affected by the Equifax breach, you can apply for either free credit monitoring OR up to $125 in cash. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

You’ll get “nowhere near” the full $125 from Equifax if you filed for a check instead of free credit monitoring, the FTC says: https://t.co/8ibQ0SkTIH — PolitiTweet.org

Because it would be pre-taped, each episode could also contain plenty of thorough fact-checking. And since listeners could skip forward or back at will, the episodes could be as long as you needed (within reason) to elicit meaningful answers. — PolitiTweet.org
