DAVID AUSTERN RETIRES AS THE CLAIMS ADMINISTRATOR

 

It is with great regret that we report that David Austern is retiring as the Claims Administrator at the end of June 2011.  We wish David well on his retirement, and we would like to express our sincere appreciation for his hard work and dedication, willingness to work with claimants and attorneys, and his success at the Settlement Facility in making the claims process highly professional and accurate.  The Claimants' Advisory Committee has enjoyed working with Mr. Austern the past seven years, and we know we express the sentiment of many, many claimants and law firms who feel the same way.  We are fortunate that David is willing to be a Consultant to the new Claims Administrator and Finance Committee.

 

The parties have selected Ann Phillips as the new Claims Administrator.  Ms. Phillips has worked at the Settlement Facility for the past 11 years as the Claims Operation Manager managing all aspects of the claims process and staff, and she is very familiar with the settlement plan.  Kim Phillips, who has worked at the MDL 926 Claims Office and the Settlement Facility since 1995, has been appointed the new Claims Operations Manager. We have tremendous confidence in Ann Phillips and Kim Phillips and their ability to continue the high standards of excellence that David Austern established, and we welcome them in their new roles as the Claims Administrator and Claims Operations Manager respectively.
