Podcast 83 Special: Opioid Settlement Services for Counties
Host: Stephan Currie
Guests: Amy Dolinky and Samantha Gibson of MAC
Topic: A special episode of Podcast 83 features MAC’s opioid settlement services to member counties.
Host Stephan Currie interviews Amy Dolinky, MAC’s technical adviser for settlement services, about her work with dozens of Michigan counties and what questions and issues have arisen in her statewide travels.
“I’m engaged with 60 counties providing various levels of support,” explained Dolinky, who joined MAC about a year ago to work specifically with members on the complicated task of best deploying national opioid settlement dollars in their communities.
Dolinky explained she has been involved in everything from helping counties plan for creation of an advisory panel, all the way to helping folks think through what transparency looks like with their spending decisions.
“And (MAC has been) working with some counties on strategic planning efforts,” she noted.
During the discussion, Currie and Dolinky reviewed the payment timeline, with Dolinky noting that while each company has a set number of payments, they are not being issued on a standard fiscal year or annual basis — and amounts can differ from year to year.
