Cities Required by March 31 to Report Opioid Settlement Fund Use
Cities that received settlement funds in 2022 from opioid manufacturers and distributors are required to report use of funds even if they have not yet been spent.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has developed an online reporting system for cities to report the use of funds received from the 2022 opioid settlement with pharmaceutical distributors McKesson, Cardinal Health, and AmerisourceBergen, and opioid manufacturer Johnson & Johnson.
The DHS reporting website will serve as a resource for Minnesotans, including staff from cities, counties, and tribes, that are interested in updates and resources regarding the expenditure of funds received from the 2022 opioid settlement.
Cities required by March 31 to report on use of opioid settlement funds
Even if your city has yet to spend any of the opioid settlement funds, recipients are required to submit an online report on the DHS reporting website by March 31, 2023.
