Opioid cash grab: As federal funding dries up, states turn to settlement money

CBS News

82% Informative

Nevada governor proposes to use $5 million in opioid settlement money to shore up TANF safety net program.

Recovery advocates say the money has a specific purpose: to address the ongoing addiction and overdose crisis.

The prospect of such tradeoffs is smacking many states in the face as budget season begins.

Nevada and Connecticut are among 13 states that have explicitly restricted the practice of supplantation.

Some places presciently set aside opioid settlement funds in "emergency" or "sustainability" accounts.

Community organizations that work directly on addiction and recovery issues are also feeling the crunch of expiring federal aid.
