LANSING – The deadline for Counties and Municipalities in Michigan to sign-up to receive funds from the multibillion-dollar opioid settlement with Teva, and Allergan Pharmaceuticals, CVS, and Walmart Pharmacy has been extended to Tuesday, May 2. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is encouraging municipalities to complete their participation forms by the deadline. According to a press release from the AG, municipalities that submit forms by the cut-off date could be eligible to receive direct payments from the more than $446 million that will be allocated to Michigan over the next 13 years. Both Gogebic and Ontonagon Counties have already applied.
