Bill overview
This bill, the Fairness for Khobar Act of 2025, amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to allow previously ineligible victims of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing to receive lump sum catch-up payments. The bill addresses a situation where the Department of Justice previously limited applications for these victims, preventing some from receiving compensation. It provides a process for these victims to demonstrate their reliance on the Department’s guidance and authorizes the Special Master to distribute funds from available reserves or the Fund to meet these claims.
