Hey can you tell me more about that? Very curious about it. Do you mean they have already been paid what Congress approved?
A good, thorough article:

“...Near the end of 2014, however, Congress attached a rider to its 2015 appropriations bill, providing that the risk corridor program had to be revenue neutral — CMS could only pay out funds under the program that it collected under the program. Congress has renewed this rider for 2016 as well.”
They were paid accordingly.
Interesting CRS report that says even if the insurance companies won- through the malfeasance of the administration- they would not be able to collect from the Judgment Fund.

BTW this was put in the infamous Cromnibus bill.
