Flint residents seeking to participate in the historic $626.25 million water crisis settlement now have until June 30 to file claims as officials give them a chance to provide better documentation.
U.S. District Judge Judith Levy approved the extension from a May 12 deadline to June 30 in a Monday order after receiving a report from the court's special master overseeing the claim process.
"The report and recommendation advises that although it is clear that all involved are working diligently to compile the information and documentation necessary to support claims, some claimants have experienced delays or difficulties in obtaining certain required documents," Levy wrote in Monday's order.
