Schedler is seeking reimbursement for his costs. The state ultimately paid more than $180,000 on the case, including attorneys fees. Dawn Ross received $167,500, including $18,425 that Schedler personally paid. In a suit filed in February 2019, Schedler argues that the state failed to represent him in the original case as an individual with a defense as required to by law. Schedler asks reimbursement of attorneys fees and costs of $14,308. He is also requesting reimbursement for the funds he paid in the original case, according to the suit.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/news/politics/article_446e6f30-9154-11e9-8093-87d271b9e8d7.html|author=Sam Karlin|publisher=''The Baton Rouge Advocate''|title=Tom Schedler, ex-Secretary of State, seeks his money back in sexual harassment settlement|date=June 17, 2019|accessdate=June 22, 2019}}</ref>
