The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act of 2025 makes two key changes to how money flows into the Crime Victims Fund, which supports services for crime victims nationwide. First, it clarifies that money from declined criminal prosecutions must be deposited into the fund, ensuring these resources benefit victims rather than going elsewhere. Second, it temporarily adds a new revenue source by directing certain False Claims Act settlements—cases involving fraud against the federal government—into the fund through September 30, 2030, with the exception that payments to whistleblowers and direct government restitution are excluded. This legislation aims to stabilize the fund's finances during a five-year period when it needs additional resources. The bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of senators in May 2025 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
