Designing breach settlement subclass allocation and pro rata distribution UI in Figma: SUB-* buckets, ALLOC-PR-* formulas, and WAVE-SUB-* tranche splits

Quick answer

Subclass allocation UI divides settlement cash by certified class definition—not informal tags on claims. Design SUB- fund buckets*, ALLOC-PR- pro rata formulas* (equal share, weighted tier, or capped per claimant), and WAVE-SUB- tranche splits* that respect distribution schedules, escrow interest, and contested reserves. Every CLM-* must map to exactly one primary SUB-* at adjudication; DEF-SUB- deficit* states trigger reallocation rules before disbursement. Without this UI, subclasses over- or under-pay relative to the plan, fairness objections spike, and final accounting cannot tie bank balance to certified counts. Start from the Figma guides hub and pair with settlement claims intake, opt-out, fairness hearing, and court monitor reporting.

Who this is for

• Product designers building class-definition and fund-allocation modules in settlement administration software.
• Settlement administrators running certified subclass counts and pro rata math before each WAVE-*.
• Class counsel validating ALLOC-PR-* against the settlement agreement before authorizing WAVE-SUB-*.

Subclass allocation lifecycle overview

SubclassProgram — SUB-PLAN-992 · subclasses: 4 · total fund: $48M · Status: Tranche 2
├── Subclass definition (from plan):
│   ├── SUB-A: core breach victims · flat tier awards
│   ├── SUB-B: delayed notice subclass · enhanced tier
│   ├── SUB-C: [opt-out](/designing-breach-settlement-opt-out-and-class-member-exclusion-ui-in-figma/) residual · cy pres redirect
│   ├── SUB-D: state-specific carve-out · statutory multiplier
│   └── Mapping rules: intake answers · documentation · geography
├── ID namespace:
│   ├── SUB-* (subclass bucket) · CLM-SUB-* (claim assignment)
│   ├── ALLOC-PR-* (pro rata allocation run)
│   ├── WAVE-SUB-* (subclass-specific disbursement wave)
│   ├── CERT-CNT-* (certified claimant count per SUB-*)
│   ├── DEF-SUB-* (subclass deficit / surplus)
│   ├── AMT-POOL-* (dollar pool per SUB-*)
│   └── LOG-ALLOC-* (formula version audit)
├── Allocation models:
│   ├── Fixed tier: AWD-TIER-* independent of count
│   ├── Equal division: AMT-POOL-* ÷ CERT-CNT-*
│   ├── Weighted: tier multiplier × base pool share
│   ├── Capped per claimant: min(computed, CAP-SUB-*)
│   └── Waterfall: SUB-A paid in full before SUB-B residual
├── Workflow:
│   ├── Certify CLM-SUB-* at approval · lock on appeal unless plan allows amend
│   ├── Compute CERT-CNT-* · exclude RES-CLM-* from payable numerator if plan says so
│   ├── Run ALLOC-PR-* preview · counsel sign-off
│   ├── Build WAVE-SUB-* per [schedule](/designing-breach-settlement-distribution-schedule-and-tranche-disbursement-planning-ui-in-figma/)
│   ├── Execute DISB-* · update DEF-SUB-* surplus/deficit
│   └── Report to [court monitor](/designing-breach-settlement-court-monitor-and-special-master-reporting-ui-in-figma/)
└── Outcomes:
    ├── Each SUB-* pool reconciles to bank sub-ledger
    ├── Claimants see subclass-specific award explanation
    └── Objections cite traceable ALLOC-PR-* version

SUB-* state	CERT-CNT-*	WAVE-SUB-* eligibility
Open intake	Provisional	Block final WAVE-*
Certified frozen	Locked	Allow ALLOC-PR-*
DEF-SUB- deficit*	Locked	Block until reallocation
Objection stay	Frozen	Pair OBJ-SUB-* hold
Closed	Final	Archive only

Verdict: ALLOC-PR- runs must be versioned— rerunning with a new CERT-CNT- without LOG-ALLOC-* version breaks external auditor reproducibility.**

Comparison: fixed tier vs pro rata pool subclasses

Dimension	Fixed tier (AWD-TIER-*)	Pro rata pool (ALLOC-PR-*)
Claimant predictability	High · known tier amount	Depends on CERT-CNT-*
Fund risk	DEF-SUB-* if too many claimants	Self-adjusting per share
Best for	statutory minimum tiers	residual fund subclasses
Portal UX	Show tier table	Show estimated vs final share
Recalc frequency	On tier change only	Each CERT-CNT-* update
Objection surface	Tier definition fights	Formula transparency

Common mistakes

1. Double-counting opt-outs in CERT-CNT-— inflates pro rata share; later DEF-SUB- clawback from paid claimants.
2. Unversioned ALLOC-PR- reruns*— two FIN-AWD-* values in the wild; disbursement chaos.
3. WAVE-SUB- ignores RES-CLM-**— pays disputed subclass members; reversals flood returned payment queue.
4. Hidden cross-SUB- transfers*— breaks sub-ledger reconciliation.
5. Subclass jargon on claimant portal— support volume; use plain definitions from notice.

---

Recommended workflow

1. Load SUB- definitions from plan* · configure intake → CLM-SUB-* rules · publish FAQ.
2. Certify counts CERT-CNT-* per cutoff · freeze before ALLOC-PR-* unless court extends.
3. Run ALLOC-PR- preview* · counsel APP-ALLOC-* · communicate FIN-AWD-* or share to portal.
4. Execute WAVE-SUB- tranches* per schedule · reconcile AMT-POOL-* · handle DEF-SUB-* explicitly.
5. Close subclasses in final accounting · route surplus to cy pres or residual per plan.

FAQ

Can one claim belong to two SUB-* buckets?

Generally no— primary SUB-* only; secondary tags for reporting if plan allows, not double payment.

How do interim PROV-DISB-* interact with pro rata?

Usually tier-based provisional— pro rata subclasses may block interim until CERT-CNT-* frozen; plan drives UI.

Subclass change after payment?

Rare— requires amendment + possible clawback if SUB-* downgrade.

Objection stays one SUB-* only?

Often yes— OBJ-SUB-* freezes WAVE-SUB-* for that bucket only; others continue if plan permits.

Foreign claimants in state-specific SUB-D?

Map via intake— pair with international payment rules in WAVE-SUB-*.

Auditor reproduction of ALLOC-PR-*?

Export input snapshot + formula version— read-only portal downloads LOG-ALLOC-* bundle.
