MB USA Direct Cash Program.

Has anyone received a payment from the MB USA Direct Cash Program where the deadline to submit was December 31, 2022? I had submitted by claim prior to the deadline and just got an email saying it was declined when 10 days prior I got an email saying it was in progress and all documentation had been received.


Notice of Final Determination

MBUSA Emission Modification Incentive Program
Documentation Review – Final Denied Determination




Dear BRENDA HUNTER,

The deadline has passed to submit additional documentation in response to the Notice of Defective Application email you received in connection with the MBUSA Emission Modification Incentive Program for the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) listed at the top of this email.

After reviewing your Application and all the documentation submitted in support of your Application, it has been determined that the documentation was not sufficient and as such, your Application has been declined for payment under the Emission Modification Incentive Program.

This decision is final.

If you have any questions about this letter, please email us at info@mbempayment.com. More information can also be found at www.mbempayment.com.

Sincerely,

Mercedes-Benz USA Emission Modification Program Incentive Administrator

Still waiting on payment.

You mixed 2 different things.
Bluetec settlement had expiration date on December 31.22
MB USA modification incentive program seems to have deadline July 31.23
AEM doesn't have posted expiration date.

Not sure how the Bluetec settlement and MB USA modification incentive program is different? They are both applied for on bluetecupdate.mbusa.com
I applied for the higher amount before 12/31, I believe it was $3200.

The incentive was reduced to $2000 after 12/31, but the application process was the same on bluetecupdate.mbusa.com

This was the earlier screenshot when the deadline was 3/31 but they extended it.

The original cash settlement applications were send to law firm.
New incentive applications go to MB USA.

Before 12/31/2022 they also went to MB USA via the website which was how I submitted mine.

Not sure what the point of your argument is, or why your even making it. Seems to serve no purpose but further confuse people.

You keep bringing the confusion.
The bluetec settlement was process by law firm, where Shelby was answering the question.
With MB USA incentive, she is no longer involved, nor is the law firm.
