$17 Million Settlement Related to Kroger Pharmacies: Who May Receive a Payment
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The $17 million settlement, presented in an Ohio court, alleges that Kroger did not account for the lower prices of the Savings Club for prescription medications, causing customers to pay inflated amounts for drugs at the store pharmacies. Kroger denies any wrongdoing and claims it accurately reported its retail prescription prices. According to the settlement website, anyone who paid for prescription medications at any Kroger store between December 9, 2018, and August 23, 2026, may be eligible to receive a payment. Here’s how to file a claim and what you could receive: How much could you receive? Those who submit valid claims will receive a portion of the $17 million settlement, but payments will vary. According to the settlement administrator, the fund will also be used to cover legal costs, and payments to each claimant are not expected to exceed $5,000. Payments will be calculated based on how many people file valid claims and how much a claimant paid for prescription medications at Kroger between December 9, 2018, and August 23, 2026. To qualify for a portion of the payment, customers must have used prescription insurance benefits to pay for the medication. Payments would be distributed within 120 days if the court grants final approval of the settlement and once any appeals, if there are any, have been resolved.
