How to Claim a Payment from the $17 Million Settlement Related to Kroger
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Have you used Mariano's pharmacy for prescription medications in the past nine years? If so, you may be entitled to a portion of a multimillion-dollar settlement with Kroger, the parent company of Mariano's. The $17 million settlement, filed in an Ohio court, alleges that Kroger failed to 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 might receive: How much could you receive? Those who file 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 share 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 have been resolved, if applicable.
