Settlement Spending Status The South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund (SCORF) board is responsible for making spending decisions and reporting on annual expenditures from the state abatement fund’s portion of opioid settlement funding . Has the state awarded settlement funds? Yes.

The SCORF board posted details of grant awards made to localities in 2023, 2024, and 2025 through a Guaranteed Political Subdivision Fund within the broader South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund.

Funding for all other qualified applicants, including nonprofits, hospitals, state agencies, educational providers, and any other person or entity working to help address the opioid epidemic, is distributed to awardees from the Discretionary Subfund — award recipients for 2023 are highlighted in the SCORF annual report . Has the state announced priorities or recommendations for spending? Yes.

The state’s Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services, alongside the South Carolina Institute of Medicine and Public Health, created a resource guide that outlines core strategies and approved uses for settlement funding. Under each strategy or approved use are definitions, links to relevant examples and resources for implementing the strategy, and references to relevant state-specific laws or resources.

Annual reports detailing settlement expenditures from previous years, beginning in 2022, are available on the recovery fund’s site .
