After the end of “race-norming,” more than 300 Black former NFL players originally denied payments now qualify for money or league-funded medical treatment.
The report, produced by the law firm that handles claims for the NFL, summarized the initial impact of last year’s removal of race-norming from the cognitive tests players must take to determine if they qualify for the settlement awards.
"Our focus in implementing this rescoring process has been to provide more retired players and their families with critical benefits, increase their access to information, and ensure greater equity and transparency going forward," Seeger said."With the settlement just crossing $1 billion in approved claims, we believe it will continue to be a lifeline for former NFL players for the decades to come.
The league denied the allegations, and the federal judge overseeing the settlement dismissed the case. The judge directed lawyers for the NFL and Seeger to examine the issue, however, and last year the sides negotiated the removal of race norms from the settlement’s evaluation process.The figures released in Thursday’s report are not the final tally of the impact of the removal of race norms.
