On April 15, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an Order appointing the PI and TPP Claims Administrators, authorizing the establishment of Claims Deadlines and claims objections procedures, and granting related relief (the “April 15, 2025 Order”). The PI Claims Administrator is Ed Gentle. Under the April 15, 2025 Order, the Bankruptcy Court approved procedures for the PI Claims Administrator to gather information from personal injury claimants in order to determine if a personal injury claimant will be eligible to get paid in accordance with the Thirteenth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Purdue Pharma L.P. and Its Affiliated Debtors (as may be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Plan”), the Purdue PI Trust Distribution Procedures for Non-NAS PI Channeled Claims (the “Non-NAS PI TDP”) and for NAS PI Channeled Claims (the “NAS PI TDP”), and the Purdue Personal Injury Trust Agreement (the “PI Trust”). These documents can be found under the Pleadings and Important Documents tab (except the PI Trust, which will be added before the hearing on the Plan). The Non-NAS PI TDP and the NAS PI TDP that are currently on this Website are substantially complete but may have minor revisions. The PI Trust, Non-NAS PI TDP and NAS PI TDP will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court before the hearing on the Plan and will be considered by the Bankruptcy Court for approval at the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan on a date to be scheduled.
The two types of personal injury claims that are channeled to the PI Trust and for which the PI Claims Administrator is requesting that PI Claimants complete and submit the applicable PI Trust Claim Form are the Non-NAS Personal Injury Claims (“Non-NAS PI Claims”) and the Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Personal Injury Claims (“NAS PI Claims”). More information on the two types of PI Claims can be found below and on the Non-NAS PI Claims Tab and the NAS PI Claims Tab. Capitalized words used herein but not defined shall have the meaning given to such words in the Plan
NON-NAS PI CLAIMS
A Non-NAS PI Claim means a Claim against any Debtor that is for alleged opioid-related personal injury or other similar opioid-related Cause of Action against any Debtor, in each case, that arose prior to the Petition Date, and that is not an NAS PI Claim, a Third-Pary Payor Claim or a Hospital Claim, or held by a Domestic Governmental Entity.
Eligibility and Claim Requirements:
In order to be eligible for a Distribution from the PI Trust for a Non-NAS PI Channeled Claim, a claimant will, among other things, be required to:
- Hold such Non-NAS PI Channeled Claim against one or more Debtors;
- Provide proof demonstrating usage prior to the September 15, 2019 Petition Date of a qualifying prescribed opioid listed in Exhibit C to the TDP and also listed on Pages 9 and 10 of the Form (a “Qualifying Opioid”); and
- Have timely filed an individual personal injury Proof of Claim for such Non-NAS PI Channeled Claim against one or more Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Additionally, each Holder of a Non-NAS PI Claim seeking an Award from the PI Trust must complete, sign, and submit the following documents so that they are received on or before July 28, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) (the “PI Claims Deadline”):
- The Non-NAS PI Claim Form;
- The applicable HIPAA consent form on Pages 11 and 12 of the Non-NAS PI Claim Form; and
- To the extent the Non-NAS PI Channeled Claim concerns the injuries of a decedent of the Holder of such Claim, the Heirship Declaration, which can be found on the Non-NAS PI Claims Tab, or valid estate documents authorizing the Holder of the Claim to act on behalf of the decedent’s estate.

(EASTERN TIME) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NON-NAS PI TDP MAY RESULT IN THE NON-NAS PI CLAIM POTENTIALLY BEING THE SUBJECT OF AN OBJECTION, DISALLOWANCE, OR DENIAL AND NOT RECEIVING ANY DISTRIBUTION.
The PI Trust is now accepting Non-NAS PI Claim Forms, and, due to the short filing period, the Trust recommends filing Non-NAS PI Claim Forms as soon as possible to ensure that PI Opioid Claimants meet the PI Claims Deadline.
