I was looking at my USPS Informed Delivery Daily Digest of the mail I'm getting today. I see a scan of a piece of mail from Scanna settlement from Portland, OR. It'll be interesting to see what amount it is. I'm sure it's probably around 25 cents. lol
I Google it and found this link with info:

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - Two years later, there’s a check-in your mailbox. But for how much?
If you received a check in the mail this week for the SCANA settlement of a class-action lawsuit after the failure of the VC Summer Nuclear Project, you’re quite literally one in a million. And those one million customers are splitting $146 million.
According to the SCE&G Ratepayer Settlement website, if you were an electricity customer of SCE&G and were charged costs for the construction of 2 nuclear plants in Jenkinsville, you may have been eligible for a payment from a class action settlement.
That lawsuit was filed after the abandonment of those two nuclear units in Fairfield County. The project’s abandonment had been financed by customers since 2009, and in the wake of the project’s loss and the years of customer payment, SCE&G and SCANA settled a large class-action lawsuit over the summer while denying the allegations within it.
According to Dominion Energy, which merged with SCE&G at the beginning of 2019, the checks are not a complete “refund” of customer dollars, they are a “disbursement or certain proceeds from the court-approved class action settlement.”
There has been some confusion over the proposal of a $1,000 rebate, which was proposed by Dominion before the merger. But once the merger was finalized, that proposal was taken off the table.
The amount of these settlement checks does vary, according to Dominion. Some customers will receive less than $50 for some, less than $1, depending on the rates paid by each class member.
