[blindlaw] ramifications of receiving Target settlement check for SSI recipients

[Rod Alcidonis]

I always thought that the legal stragegy here was flaud by entering in a 
settlement where payments would be made directly to the plaintiffs as 
individuals. Given the reason why the suit was brought in the first place, 
any settlement agreements should have required payments to go towards 
something to further access for the blind, or a donation to fund blindness 
organizations providing technology services to the blind. Granted, I am 
saying this without being aware whether there existed a statutory constraint 
in California that prohibited such agreements. The funds could have gone to 
purchase computers for the blind, funded a technology center, etc.

Take care.
