Summary
Aberdeen Township, Monmouth County, State ID NJ1, reports receiving 129,538.17 in opioid settlement money from 2022 through 06/30/2025. The money must go to the abatement uses the national settlements list, or to documented evidence-based programs that address the epidemic. It must add to local spending, not replace it.
The Township's three filed reports to the Department of Human Services certify 0.00 spent, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 of administrative costs in every year. None reports a funded program. The State's page for FY2026 reads No Report Received.
This project cannot test those figures against the books. The Township has not produced a ledger for its settlement money. Its reports do not agree with one another on how much it received or how much it has left.

Each filed report says the Township did not transfer its funds to the county. The FY2023 report says the Township did not engage the public and had no strategic plan or risk assessment.
The FY2024 report gives the same answer to its questions on goals, method and public engagement: "The township plans to allocate the opioid money effectively in the near future." It says the Township plans to engage the public and to prepare a strategic plan and a risk assessment.
The FY2025 report gives its goals as "Nothing currently." It answers the question on how the Township decided to use the money with "Not used." It describes its public engagement as "Working on it." It again says the Township plans to engage the public and to prepare a strategic plan and a risk assessment.
What the reports say is left
The FY2024 report certifies 98,763.53 on hand. On its own figures the Township had received 91,563.24 in all, interest included, and spent nothing. The on hand figure is 7,200.29 more than everything received. FY2024 on hand figure is 7,200.29 above all money received.
The FY2025 report certifies 0.00 on hand. It also certifies 129,538.17 received, nothing spent, nothing encumbered and nothing transferred. On those figures all 129,538.17 should remain. FY2025 report says 0.00 left of 129,538.17 never spent.
What the records show
The only records on file are the Township's reports to the State. The Township has not produced a ledger, a bank statement or any account record for its settlement money. Without one, this project cannot say where the 129,538.17 is held, whether any of it was spent, or which of the two on hand figures is closer to the truth. A ledger is owed before the Township's reports can be tested.
