So I am playing a 250+20 SNG which is chopped three ways and I get $400 or +$130.

This doesn't make sense. Most ten-player SNGs pay approx. 20% to third place. In addition, a player with the smallest stack who is already guaranteed the lowest prize should always been receiving more than that prize amount, or else there would be no reason to accept the chop. Yet, from this chop, you only received 16% of the prize pool.

Was there an unusual payoff schedule where third place received less than 15%, or did you just agree to a really bad deal?

Not in AC. 250+20 in Borgata pays something like 2k for first and $500 for second. They most likely choped it 3 way by chip count (or something close to it).
