How Much Each PA County Will Get from the Opioid Settlement

Here’s how much each Pa. county will get from the opioid settlement

Counties are slated to receive funding as soon as April.

 

Each Pennsylvania county is expected to receive part of a $1 billion settlement for drug treatment and prevention, in a deal with four companies negotiated by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and other state attorneys general.

Despite criticism of the settlement, Philadelphia joined the agreement just ahead of a midnight deadline on Wednesday and will receive at least $186 million out of the deal.

Mayor Jim Kenney and District Attorney Larry Krasner had argued the settlement from the companies was too low and the 18-year payout schedule too long. But the city ultimately agreed to take part, while Krasner opted not to do so, and will keep pursuing a lawsuit.
