Audit Pillars
"The Elective Payment Program (EPP) Tier 5 ($100,000) is the highest standard tier. Cases exceeding this are audited for EIF eligibility."
Case Intelligence FAQ.
? What is the EPP (Elective Payment Program)?
The EPP is an expedited payment pathway in the 3M settlement designed for over 99% of claimants. It provides fixed amounts (Tiers 1-5) ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 based on injury severity and documentation levels.
? How does the S-Class auditor calculate my value?
Our S-Class engine syncs your clinical hearing loss (measured in dB) with the MDL 2885 EPP Tier Matrix. It applies 'Expert Delta' multipliers for combat exposure, hearing aid necessity, and medical documentation quality.
? What counts as 'Extraordinary Injury' (EIF)?
The EIF (Extraordinary Injury Fund) is reserved for claimants with catastrophic hearing loss, such as total deafness or cases requiring major surgical intervention. These payouts can exceed $250,000.
? Why is legal representation critical in 2026?
Claimants represented by counsel generally see higher EPP placements and have the forensic ability to appeal 'deferred' status or incorrect tier assignments, often resulting in a 3.5x higher net outcome compared to initial pro-se offers.
