You may qualify for the generic drug price-fixing settlement if you paid out of pocket for a covered generic between 2009 and 2019
Last checked July 21, 2026
If you paid a copay, a deductible or the full cash price for a covered generic drug between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019, you may have a claim here. About 200 drugs are on the list, including albuterol, gabapentin, levothyroxine, fluoxetine, doxycycline and pravastatin.
This one asks for proof. Your share of the $533 million fund is set by how much spending you can document, so a claim with no records has nothing to be measured against.
Purchases in Indiana and Ohio are excluded. Every other state, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, counts. Claims are due November 9, 2026.
You may qualify if
- ✓You paid something out of your own pocket for at least one of the roughly 200 covered generic medications between May 1, 2009 and December 31, 2019. A copay, a deductible or a cash price all count. A fully covered prescription where you paid nothing does not.
- ✓You bought it in any U.S. state except Indiana or Ohio, or in Washington D.C., Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands.
- ✓You are an individual, a business, a union health plan or another third-party payer. Federal agencies, state Medicaid programs, pharmacy benefit managers and fully insured employers are out.
What you need to file
Records. Pharmacy receipts, invoices, or insurance explanation-of-benefits statements that show the drug and the amount you paid. The official site at genericdrugsendpayersettlement.com also lists the covered drugs, so you can check yours before you start digging.
The online form is five steps: confirm eligibility, gather proof, open the site, submit the form, keep your confirmation. Paper forms are available on the same site. Budget real time for the gathering step. The form itself is the quick part, and filing is free.
Deadline and what you get
November 9, 2026. Payment is pro rata on documented spending, so a larger documented total means a larger share, and the final per-person figure depends on how many valid claims are filed. There is no fixed per-person amount.
The $533 million comes from Sandoz and Fougera ($275 million), Sun and Taro ($200 million), Heritage ($29 million) and Apotex ($29 million), all of whom deny liability. The case is In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, MDL 2724, in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania before Judge Cynthia M. Rufe. The administrator decides eligibility, not this site.

Do I need receipts going back to 2009?
You need records showing the drug and what you paid, for whatever purchases you claim. Insurance explanation-of-benefits statements and pharmacy printouts count alongside receipts. The administrator may ask for them later, so keep them after you file.
Which drugs are covered?
About 200 generics, including albuterol, amitriptyline, baclofen, celecoxib, doxycycline, fluoxetine, gabapentin, levothyroxine, pravastatin and propranolol. The full list is on the official settlement site.
I live in Ohio. Can I file?
Purchases made in Indiana or Ohio are excluded from this settlement. Purchases in any other state, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands are covered.
Is there a paper form?
Yes. The official site offers a paper form as well as the online one, and both are due by November 9, 2026.
