The Deadline is Fast Approaching to Apply for Certain Opioid Settlement Funds

Six distributer/dispenser opioid companies have settled their litigation for their role in the opioid crisis for a total payment of $97 million. The settlement administrator has determined the percentage that eligible municipalities can receive and not all Massachusetts municipalities are eligible. You will want to check to determine if your municipality is eligible.  

Eligible towns must sign and return the Docusign form to participate in the settlement. The deadline for returning the form is May 4, 2026. If your municipality is eligible but it did not receive the Docusign participation form, it should complete the form and return it as soon as possible. Since the form is only submitted via Docusign, you should check for emails from dse_na3@docusign.net and opioidsparticipation@rubris.com in your spam or junk folder for the Docusign link.
