Bill overview
This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide additional financial assistance to certain victims of specific terrorist attacks. Specifically, it addresses a gap in payments for victims of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing and the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing who applied for compensation before December 29, 2022, but did not receive all four rounds of payments. The bill requires an audit to determine eligibility for a ‘catch-up payment’ and outlines how these payments would be calculated and distributed. This aims to ensure these victims receive the compensation they are entitled to.
