Manville Trust Raises Its Pro Rata Payment Percentage to 5.6%: What the September Notice Establishes

The Manville Personal Injury Settlement Trust’s administrator announced that the Trust’s pro rata payment percentage increased from 5.1% to 5.6%. The announcement is dated September 3, 2026 and states that e-Claims changes were implemented on September 2, 2026.1

The announcement reports that the Trustees approved the increase with the concurrence of the Selected Counsel for the Beneficiaries and the Legal Representative of Future Claimants. It also says the updated percentage applies to future offers and that outstanding offers were re-issued at 5.6%.1

What the September announcement says

Trust-administrator statement	What it supports
Pro rata payment percentage increased from 5.1% to 5.6%	A current published payment-percentage update for the Manville Trust.
e-Claims changes were implemented September 2, 2026	The administrator’s stated system-implementation date.
Future offers were set at 5.6% and outstanding offers were re-issued	A described administrative change to offers in the e-Claims system.
Eligible retroactive adjustments are planned for mid-October	The administrator’s stated plan for identified eligible claims; not a claimant-specific eligibility determination.

What the notice does not establish

The announcement does not publish a new Manville balance-sheet figure, a new inception-to-date payout total, a universal supplemental-payment calculation, or an outcome for any individual claim. A payment percentage is part of the Trust’s payment framework; it is not a standalone value for every claim and does not replace the governing procedures or the facts applicable to a particular submission.1

The announcement says that the administrator identified claims by law firm that are eligible for a retroactive supplemental-payment adjustment and plans to issue payments in mid-October. It does not publish claimant-level eligibility decisions, individual amounts, or a complete public list of affected claims.1

Confirmed by the September 3 announcement: Manville’s published pro rata payment percentage moved from 5.1% to 5.6%, and the administrator states that e-Claims changes were implemented September 2.

Not established by the announcement: A new trust-asset figure, cumulative payments, an individual award, or universal eligibility for a supplemental payment.

AsbestosTrusts.org records the 5.6% percentage and the stated implementation date as a payment-percentage update. It does not infer a new net-asset balance or cumulative-payout figure from that notice. Those measures require their own applicable source, such as an identified financial statement or filed report.
