2Deposits in Crime Victims Fund
This section would amend section 1402(b)(6) of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (34 U.S.C. 20101), the provision that lists the sources of money deposited into the Crime Victims Fund, to add a new, temporary source. Starting on the date this Act becomes law and continuing through fiscal year 2029, amounts recovered under the False Claims Act (sections 3729 through 3731 of title 31, United States Code) would also be deposited into the Fund, alongside the existing funding sources already listed in that provision. Two carve-outs apply to this new source: amounts needed to pay qui tam plaintiffs (the private individuals who bring False Claims Act lawsuits on the government's behalf), as described in section 3730(d) of title 31, would not be available for deposit into the Fund, and amounts needed to reimburse the federal government for the damages the government sustained from the false claims, as described in section 3729(a) of title 31, would also not be available for deposit into the Fund.
