Trust Watch is a free settlement payout tracking dashboard on TortIntel.ai that monitors the three programs plaintiff attorneys and litigation funders ask about most: the Scouting Settlement Trust (Boy Scouts of America, $2.46B), the Purdue Pharma PI Trust ($7.4B total plan, $900M personal injury pool), and the Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims program (over $708M paid to claimants as of July 2026). It pulls from CourtListener docket data, official trust administrator disclosures, and DOJ settlement status filings, and refreshes every Sunday.
Why We Built a Payout Tracker
Signing a client is the beginning of the relationship, not the end. Once the retainer is in, the question your client asks — and keeps asking — is simple: when do I get paid? Most of the answers live scattered across bankruptcy dockets, trust administrator sites and DOJ court filings that nobody reads for fun. Trust Watch puts the numbers that matter on one page, so a firm handling 400 BSA claims or a funder pricing a Camp Lejeune portfolio can see payment velocity at a glance instead of billing an associate to dig through PACER.
What Trust Watch Tracks Right Now
1. Scouting Settlement Trust (BSA)
The $2.46B trust has issued determinations on more than 60,575 of the 82,209 claims filed — roughly 74% — with $808M+ paid across 42,117+ approved payments as of May 14, 2026. The main BSA Chapter 11 case closed with a Final Decree on March 13, 2026, and second distributions of 3.2% supplemental value began in weekly batches in March. Trust Watch charts claims-processing velocity over time so you can estimate how many months of runway remain.
2. Purdue Pharma PI Trust
The $7.4B headline number is misleading for individual claimants, and Trust Watch says so plainly: the personal injury trust is $900M from Purdue (now Knoa Pharma), with the Sackler family's $6.5B going to states over three years. The plan became effective May 1, 2026, and first PI payments are targeted for Summer 2026. The dashboard shows the full four-payment schedule and watches the S.D.N.Y. docket for distribution orders.
3. Camp Lejeune (CLJA) — New This Week
Camp Lejeune is not a bankruptcy trust — it is a federal claims program under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act — but it is the payout every mass tort practice tracks, so it now has a full card on Trust Watch. The current picture as of mid-2026:
- $708M+ paid to claimants, with $876M+ in approved settlement offers (DOJ figures, May–July 2026)
- 407,000+ administrative claims filed with the Navy, but only about 2,686 administrative offers approved — a resolution rate under 1%
- 3,744 lawsuits pending in the Eastern District of North Carolina as of May 2026
- Elective Option fast-track payouts of $100K–$450K by injury tier, plus $100K for qualifying deaths (max $550K)
- Congressional Budget Office exposure estimate: $21B over the life of the program
The bottleneck is administrative, not legal. The filing window closed August 10, 2024, so this is now purely a question of how fast the Navy and DOJ can process what is already in the pipeline — exactly the kind of velocity question Trust Watch was built to answer.
Who Should Use It
Plaintiff firms use Trust Watch to give clients honest timeline answers backed by docket data instead of guesswork. Litigation finance professionals use it to track payment velocity before deploying capital against expected distributions. Referral attorneys use it to understand what a BSA, Purdue or Camp Lejeune inventory is actually worth on a timeline, not just on paper.
How to Access It
Trust Watch is free and requires no login: tortintel.ai/trust-watch. It is part of TortIntel.ai, our litigation market intelligence terminal that also scores active federal MDLs on JPML data. Data refreshes weekly every Sunday from CourtListener (PACER), scoutingsettlementtrust.org, the Kroll restructuring administrator and DOJ CLJA settlement status filings.
Not legal or financial advice. All figures are as of the dates stated and sourced from public court records and trust administrator disclosures.
