The NAS PI Trust is now accepting NAS PI Claims as of April 23, 2024, the Effective Date. Please note that NAS PI Claims must be filed by April 23, 2025 to be considered eligible for an award.
A NAS (Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome) PI Claim is an opioid claim, held by any natural person born on or before July 7, 2023, who (a) has been diagnosed by a licensed medical provider with a medical, physical, cognitive or emotional condition resulting from such natural person’s intrauterine exposure to Opioids or Opioid replacement or treatment medication, including but not limited to the condition known as Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (“NAS”); and (b) who filed a Proof of Claim by the July 7, 2023 General Bar Date. For the avoidance of doubt, claims related to medical monitoring support, educational support, vocational support, familial support or similar related relief shall not be NAS PI Claims. To be timely filed, the NAS PI Claim Form must be submitted by no later than the date that is one year from the Effective Date, or by April 23, 2025.
In order to be able to file a NAS PI Claim, the claimant must have first filed a Proof of Claim against the Debtor in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case by the General Bar date of July 7, 2023, set by the Bankruptcy Court. However, in order to be eligible to receive funds from the NAS PI Trust, the Claimant must also file a NAS Opioid Claim and any required documentation by the claims submission deadline.
You can file a NAS PI Claim if you:
- Were born on or before July 7, 2023; and
- Were diagnosed by a licensed medical provider, on or before July 7, 2023, of a medical, physical, cognitive, or emotional condition (damages) resulting from intrauterine exposure to either Opioids, or Opioid replacement/treatment mediation; and
- you filed a Proof of Claim by the General Bar Date of July 7, 2023.
If you are the parent, guardian or legal representative of a child who has been diagnosed as described above, then you can file a claim on their behalf. You will be required to provide documentation of your authority to act on behalf of the child/minor claimant.
Important Documents to Review Before Filing a Claim
FILING A CLAIM
If you are filing a NAS PI Claim, you must submit to the Trustee the NAS PI Claim Form and supporting documentation as explained in the Endo NAS Personal Injury Trust Distribution Procedures (“NAS PI TDP”) and NAS PI Claim FAQs provided above.
Important Note: If a NAS PI Claimant has already filed a NAS Claim with the Mallinckrodt Opioid Personal Injury Trust (“MNK PI Trust”), the Endo PI NAS TDP allows for the claim information to be transferred to the Endo NAS PI Trust without the need to complete a new, full claim.
- If you are represented by a law firm, ask your firm to provide the Trust with the information needed to have your MNK Claim information used by the Endo PI Trust.
- If you are not represented (are a Pro Se Claimant), please reach out to the Trust via email at endopitrust@endopitrust.com or via phone at 1-855-637-5538 regarding the use of your MNK Claim information for your Endo NAS PI Claim.
