What has been announced is only a partial settlement. The State of Michigan has agreed to pay 600 Million dollars. There are a number of other entities and individuals that are not part of the settlement, who might become a part of it, or against whom the cases will proceed to trial. The settlement must still be approved by the Court.
The main defendants that will remain in the case at this time, are: (1)Veolia North America ("VNA"); (2) Lockwood Andrews and Newnam ("LAN"); (3) The City of Flint; and (4) Rowe Engineering. In some instances, McLaren Hospital might be a Defendant.

There will be a process that generally will be as follows:
Under Michigan law, any child receiving more than a certain amount must go through certain procedures in order to be awarded money. Those procedures will be in place and parents/guardians will be able to make informed choices for their kids.
