All capitalized terms used in this dashboard have the meanings set forth in the Settlement Agreements. The calculations below are the amounts that the indicated State(s) and/or Subdivision(s) would receive pursuant to the Settlement Agreements if all relevant facts and circumstances were to remain unchanged.

Be advised, however, that the relevant facts and circumstances, including but not limited to current levels of State and Subdivision participation, are subject to change and thus, there are no guarantees regarding the amounts or timing of any future payment(s). The amounts and timing of any future payments will be governed by the terms of the Settlement Agreements.

Payment timing and amounts are subject to change and may be affected by, among other things, increased participation in a State, a State’s eligibility for Incentive Payment D, and suspensions or offsets related to Later Litigating Subdivisions. See, e.g., Section IV, Section XII, and Section XIII of the Distributor Settlement Agreement and Section V and Section IX of the Janssen Settlement Agreement.

Payment timing and amounts may also be affected by the Pre-payment Option and/or Significant Financial Constraint provisions of the Distributor Settlement Agreement (Section IV. J and Section IV. K).

Please also note that these calculations do not take into account any Settlement Fund Administrator costs and fees that exceed the available interest accrued in the Settlement Fund.

Pursuant to Public Act 23-92, Section 2: “Any municipality that receives moneys directly from a settlement administrator pursuant to a judgment, consent decree or settlement related to opioid litigation shall submit an annual report to the committee detailing its expenditures for the preceding fiscal year on a form prescribed by the committee.

Each such municipality shall submit such report to the committee on or before October 1, 2023, and annually thereafter, until the total amount of such moneys received by the municipality has been expended. ” Please see below for completed reports.
