Important Notice About RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) Payments
We understand that many Members have questions or concerns about why they will, or will not, receive an RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) payment. This notice is intended to clearly explain who is eligible for a payment, why only some Members receive one, and why others do not.
Why the HIFN PCD Trust Was Created
The HIFN PCD Trust – RHT Annuities Settlement was created by HIFN Council to distribute a maximum of 1,327 one-time PCD payments to eligible HIFN Members (1,206 Original Enrolled Members plus 121 additional PCDs approved by Council to include Members whose registrations were completed shortly after the Trust was settled).
Because the Trust was funded to pay the 1,206 registered Original Enrolled Members as of September 9, 2023, along with 121 additional PCDs for Members who became registered after September 9, 2023, not every post-September 9, 2023 registered Member can receive a payment.
