On November 25, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a process for eligible victims of federal child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offenses to request that a federal court order a one-time payment from the Defined Monetary Assistance Victims Reserve (DMA Victims Reserve). The DMA Victims Reserve was established by the Amy, Vicky, and Andy Child Pornography Assistance Act of 2018. A federal court determines whether an eligible victim is entitled to receive a one-time payment of up to $35,000, adjusted for inflation, and the Department of Justice makes the ordered payment from the DMA Victims Reserve.
To learn more about eligibility and the application process, please visit the U.S. Department of Justice website.
