What Was the Hoosick Falls Settlement About?
The settlement resolved claims against DuPont concerning alleged PFAS contamination, including PFOA, in drinking water in the Village of Hoosick Falls and Town of Hoosick, New York. The case involved property-related claims and medical-monitoring eligibility. DuPont denied wrongdoing.Who Qualified?
The settlement defined municipal-water and private-well property classes, along with a medical-monitoring class. Eligibility depended on factors such as property ownership, water source, location, exposure period, and—for medical monitoring—qualifying blood-test results. The official class definitions control.What Benefits Were Available?
The $27 million settlement provides allocations for eligible property claims and additional funding for the medical-monitoring program created in the related 2021 settlement. Individual property payments depend on the applicable class, property information, and the settlement's allocation formula.What Proof Was Required?
People who participated in the 2021 settlement generally used a short form to report changes. New class members had to use a long form and provide documents proving eligibility. Depending on the class, that could include records concerning property ownership, municipal or private-well water, residency, and PFOA blood-test results.Current Approval and Claims Status
The court granted final approval on April 29, 2026. The official website reported on July 16 that claims review was continuing and that some claimants had received deficiency notices, including notices associated with duplicate claims for the same property. A funding deadline is not the same as an individual payment date, so this page does not state that claimant distributions have been completed.The official schedule also lists October 26, 2026 as the deadline for certain pending blood-test results. That evidence deadline does not reopen the February claim-filing deadline.
