Sources last checked:
Consumers can submit a signed claim by March 8, 2027 for a share of the state attorneys general’s generic drug settlements. Start with the program’s drug list. Only certain drugs and purchases qualify, and the state or territory where you live when you file affects which settlements can pay you.
The states alleged that manufacturers coordinated prices for generic drugs. Connecticut reported settlements totaling about $96.5 million and preliminary court approval of a plan for distributing funds. Individual payments depend on eligibility, claims and final court approval.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need receipts?
You can file without receipts. If you choose the spending-based payment, provide an estimate and keep any available records. The administrator may request supporting documents later, and missing records can affect that payment.
How much will I get?
There is no published per-person amount. The calculation depends on your current residence, which settlements apply and how many claims qualify. Estimated spending also matters for consumers who choose that option.
When will payments be sent?
The states say payments follow the deadline, review of claims, resolution of disputes and final court approval of the plan. Only timely, valid, signed claims qualify for the initial distribution. The notice says late claims may be considered for future distributions.
