MyMichigan Health 403(b) Settlement, Check If You Qualify — Moffit, et al. v. MyMichigan Health, et al., No. 1:25-cv-10761-DML-PTM

Did MyMichigan Health put part of your 403(b) into GoalMaker or a Guaranteed Income Fund between 2019 and now? There’s a $1.9 million settlement fund for that. MyMichigan Health and its Pension Governance and Administrative Committee agreed to pay $1,900,000 to resolve Moffit, et al. v. MyMichigan Health, et al., No. 1:25-cv-10761-DML-PTM, over how the 403(b) plan’s stable value option was managed. Here’s how to check if you qualify — and what, if anything, you actually need to do.

Who Is MyMichigan Health and Why Are They Being Sued Over the 403(b) Plan?

MyMichigan Health sponsors the 403(b) Savings Plan at the center of this case, and its Pension Governance and Administrative Committee is the body that actually picks and monitors the plan’s investment menu. The lawsuit claims that committee mismanaged the plan’s stable value option — the Guaranteed Income Fund — the “safe” choice many employees leaned on through GoalMaker’s automatic allocations. MyMichigan Health denies any wrongdoing.

What Did MyMichigan Health Do to Plan Participants Between 2019 and 2026?

Kevin Moffit and Kevin Myers, both former Plan participants, sued claiming MyMichigan Health and its Committee failed ERISA’s duty to manage the Plan’s stable value investment prudently. The case doesn’t allege a data breach or stolen funds — it alleges the fiduciaries let a “safe” option underperform what a prudently managed alternative would have earned.

Here’s the math the settlement notice states but never adds up for you: Class Counsel can seek up to $633,333.33 in fees (one-third of the fund), plus $5,000 Case Contribution Awards each for Moffit and Myers. That’s at least $643,333.33 off the top — before administrative expenses even get subtracted — out of a $1.9 million fund. Whatever’s left gets split pro rata based on each member’s average GIF balance during the class period.

Who Qualifies for the MyMichigan Health 403(b) Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if the MyMichigan Health ERISA settlement includes you.

• Anyone who used GoalMaker in the 403(b) Plan between March 18, 2019 and June 11, 2026
• Anyone who directed any part of their account to the GIF during that window
• Beneficiaries and alternate payees of record for those participants
• Current employees with an active Plan account today (they’re paid automatically)

You do not qualify if you’re a Committee Member named in the case, and you cannot opt out — the class was certified under Rule 23(b)(1), so every eligible participant is bound by the outcome.

MyMichigan Retirees Living Outside Michigan — Are You Still Covered?

Yes. Court filings show Class Members spread across dozens of states, from Texas to Wisconsin, not just Michigan. Where you live now doesn’t affect your eligibility — your GIF or GoalMaker balance during the class period does.

Not sure if you qualify? A free consultation with an ERISA attorney can help before the Fairness Hearing.

How Much Can MyMichigan Health 403(b) Settlement Class Members Get?

There’s no flat number and no “up to $X” here — your share is calculated pro rata, based on your average balance in the GIF relative to everyone else’s, during the class period. Roughly 18,000 people are expected to split what’s left of the $1.9 million after fees, awards, and administrative costs come out. If you already have an account in the Plan, your share lands right there — no action needed.

If you’re not a current participant, you’ll get a check automatically. Payments by check are subject to tax withholding; rollovers to an IRA or another qualified plan are not. Payments over $600 may be reported to the IRS either way.

What Should MyMichigan Health 403(b) Settlement Class Members Do Right Now?

1. If you have an active account in the Plan today, do nothing — your share deposits directly into it once the settlement is final.
2. If you’re not a current participant and want a check, do nothing — one will be mailed to your address on file.
3. If you’d rather roll your share into an IRA or another qualified plan, get the Rollover Form at mymichigansettlement.com/settlement-documents.
4. Complete it with your date of birth, signature, and a substitute IRS Form W-9.
5. Mail, email, or submit it online, postmarked no later than November 18, 2026.
6. Update your mailing address with the Settlement Administrator (1-800-348-8071) if you’ve moved.

Takes about 10 minutes if you’re rolling over. Deadline: November 18, 2026.

MyMichigan Health 403(b) — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 1:25-cv-10761-DML-PTM

Do I need a lawyer for the MyMichigan Health 403(b) settlement?

 No. Most Class Members don’t need to do anything. An ERISA attorney can help if you’re weighing a rollover or considering an objection.

Is the MyMichigan Health ERISA settlement legitimate?

Yes. It comes from a real case, Moffit v. MyMichigan Health, No. 1:25-cv-10761-DML-PTM, pending in the Eastern District of Michigan and administered by Atticus Administration under court supervision.

When will MyMichigan Health settlement payments be sent?

 Only after the Fairness Hearing and any appeals resolve. If there’s no appeal, the FAQ page estimates roughly four months after final approval.

What if I miss the MyMichigan Health rollover deadline? 

Nothing bad happens — you’ll simply be paid by check instead of by direct rollover, and that check will be subject to tax withholding.

Will my MyMichigan Health settlement payment be taxed? 

Checks are subject to automatic withholding. Rollovers avoid immediate tax, but a 60-day rollover triggers 20% withholding you’d need to cover yourself. Ask a tax professional.

What exactly did MyMichigan Health allegedly do wrong? 

The complaint claims the Plan’s Guaranteed Income Fund, used through GoalMaker’s automatic allocations, wasn’t managed the way ERISA requires a fiduciary to manage a plan investment option.

How much of the $1.9 million goes to attorneys instead of Plan participants? 

Class Counsel can seek up to $633,333.33 (one-third), plus $10,000 total in Case Contribution Awards to the two Class Representatives, before administrative costs are even subtracted.
