  1. So, it was settled and I got a check for about two dollars. TIAA CREF transferred the last $37,000 of my retirement plan to my employer's new retirement account handler over the course of five years. I think that was in a pretty good time for the economy so I imagine TIAA CREF made more than two dollars off my $37,000. I just read the lawsuit was settled for $19.5 million to be divided up by 59,000 people. That should be $330 each, still not what my $37,000 made for them.
