The FTC sued the makers of Suboxone®, a prescription drug to treat opioid addiction, alleging they were preventing patients from choosing lower priced generic versions of the drug. The companies agreed to pay $60 million to consumers to settle the FTC charges.
That means if you got a prescription for Suboxone® film in the United States between March 1, 2013 and February 28, 2019, you may be eligible for a payment.

The application deadline is December 1, 2020.

I filed for the settlement and still have not received my settlement money. I've been being prescribed Suboxone every month since May 2008 and still taking it. How can I confirm my settlement amount? How can I find out when I will receive my settlement amount? Thank you.
