Yuma County, Arizona, will receive nearly $20,000 as its share of an $850 million class-action settlement with MMC Inc., a global insurance brokerage firm that was at the heart of an insurance scandal last year.
The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this week to accept the $19,991.66.
Deputy County Attorney Robert Pickels said the money from the settlement will go into the county’s general fund.
MMC Inc. has declined to comment, saying it doesn’t comment on cases that are in litigation.
The county in 2003 awarded the company a three-year contract for $42,000 to handle the county’s insurance policy purchases. That contract will be up for bid next year.
