The court’s exact words
You may be eligible if you are an individual who bought one or more Drugs at Issue in the United States between May 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019; did not buy them for resale or directly from any Defendant; are not an officer, director, management, or employee of any Defendant; and currently reside in a state, commonwealth, or territory that is a party to one or more settlements, or you currently reside in Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, or Texas (for Apotex-only eligibility).
Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.
Our notes: This is not a class action: it is a restitution program for consumers from settlements won by state attorneys general in three price-fixing lawsuits against generic drug makers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. Per the notice and claims site, eligible consumers are individuals who bought one or more Drugs at Issue (list on the claims site) in the United States from May 1, 2009 through December 31, 2019, not for resale and not directly from a defendant, who are not officers, directors, management or employees of a defendant, and who now live in a U.S. state, commonwealth or territory other than Guam or American Samoa. Eligibility depends on where you live when you file, not where you bought. Residents of Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii and Texas are eligible only for a fixed amount (to be set later) from the Apotex settlement; residents of Louisiana and Missouri can file but only share in some settlements. Settling defendants so far: Heritage (with Emcure and Satish Mehta), Apotex, Bausch Health, Lannett, and Glenmark (pending approval). The suits continue against other makers.
