01

The FY2025 report covers 07/01/2024 to 06/30/2025.

It certifies 8,545.02 received in the year, 30,447.14 received since 2022, 0.00 expended, 0.00 encumbered and 0.00 of unspent funds on hand from any reporting year (p1). It answers that the Township is a municipality and did not transfer its funds. The FY2024 report, for 07/01/2023 to 06/30/2024, had certified 0.00 expended and 21,902.12 on hand (p1). The FY2023 report certified 0.00 expended (p1). No report certifies any spending. 21,902.12 plus 8,545.02 is 30,447.14, the FY2025 report's own figure for all money received. The FY2026 report, for 07/01/2025 to 06/30/2026, certifies 5,791.92 received in the year, 0.00 spent, no transfer and 36,239.06 currently on hand (pp1 to 2). That is 30,447.14 plus 5,791.92, to the cent. The Township's budget status print of 05/27/2026 shows 35,344.73 adopted on account G-02-41-798-591-299, National Opioid Settlements, with nothing expended or encumbered. Money that was never spent or transferred cannot be 0.00 on hand in one report and on hand in full in the next. The FY2025 on hand figure is 30,447.14 short.

Frequently asked questions

Can opioid settlement money be spent on police cars or license plate readers?

No. Exhibit E of the national settlement lists the approved uses: treatment, recovery, prevention, harm reduction and related supports. Vehicles and surveillance hardware are not among the uses it lists, and state law bars using the funds to replace money a town would otherwise have spent.The approved uses

What did Upper Township tell the State it spent the money on?

No certified program is published for this jurisdiction yet. When a report is captured, each program appears here beside the payments in the account.See the reports

By code, from a published rubric: reporting integrity 50 percent, spending conformity 40 percent, transparency 10 percent, with hard caps for a certified program that has no payee in the books, for an uncertified transfer out, and for a records refusal.The rubric
