Mutual fund legal settlement distribution shows up on 1099B, where to report this?

I contacted settlement firm and was told they didn’t report such small sums ($11) on the 1099s they provided brokers as a result of this swettlement.  I don’t think its a cash in lieu of fractional shares.  No sales transaction occurred.
