Summary
- Consumers may receive money from generic drug settlements.
- Claims can be filed for drugs purchased between May 2009 and December 2019.
- Approximately $25 million to $30 million in restitution funds have been recovered.
Consumers in Pennsylvania who purchased generic prescription drugs between May 2009 and December 2019 are being urged to check their eligibility for settlement funds. The Attorney General's Office has recovered approximately $25 million to $30 million through settlements with generic drug manufacturers suspected of conspiring to inflate prices.
Individuals can visit the official settlement website to search for their prescription medication and file a claim. While old receipts may not be necessary, consumers have two options: an equal share of funds or an estimated out-of-pocket cost, which might require documentation. The deadline to submit claims is March 8. Consumers are cautioned to use only the official website to avoid scams.
