Settlements Information
Settlement Funds Allocation
The Illinois Opioid Allocation Agreement governs how funds from any national multistate opioid settlement will be allocated throughout the state.
The Allocation Agreement establishes that 55% of funds will go to the Illinois Opioid Remediation Fund, 20% of the funds are to be allocated to the state; and 25% directly to Illinois Local Governments (LGs), including all counties and eligible municipalities.
Pursuant to an additional agreement between the state and the city of Chicago, a portion of the state’s 20% share will go directly to the city for abatement purposes. This brings the overall percentage allocated to LGs to approximately 33% of the funds. To date, payments have been allocated as follows.
