11. Can I receive benefits if my car was totaled after September 18, 2015?
If you owned an Eligible Vehicle that was functioning and operable as of September 18, 2015, but was subsequently totaled (and the title was transferred to an insurance company), you will be eligible for benefits under the Class Action Settlement as described in this notice at Question 19. There is one exception: if your car is totaled after June 28, 2016, but before the opt-out date (September 16, 2016), you are excluded from the settlement class and reserve your rights and claims against the Volkswagen entities.
So as long as you are eligible now, you can total your car after Sept 16, but if you do it within the next 12 weeks, you are in bad shape?
Anyone read this differently? (I wonder why this clause is in there?)
