Can I receive a settlement for a reprisal termination even after I submit a claim to the ministry as long as the employer doesn't yet know that I've filed the claim?

You should still be able to receive a settlement after submitting a claim - however any settlement will likely involve a release of all claims against the employer, which may include the claim that you have filed with the ministry, depending on the nature of that claim.
