There are 2 things in play for each of the QuiTam cases.

There is the settlement with the DOJ and then there are settlements with the respective states for each of the individual cases. However the vast majority of the states have been involved in the mass qui-tam settlement with the DOJ and most of the global settlement will(should) cover the settlment with most of the states.

The 2 cases want to move their state settlment out of the qui-tam and do it seperately. This is the what 2 groups asked the judge to rule on a month ago and he asked for a brief to do so. He has not ruled to either let them out from the state settlement or not.

That said, even with this global settlement not all state settlments are included and are being handled concurrently.
