Amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.

Summary

Creates a specific exception allowing certain plaintiffs tied to the September 11, 2001 attacks (identified in a 2014 court order) to receive funds that had been withheld from distribution and to remain eligible for future rounds of payments on the same terms as other claimants. The change is made retroactive to December 29, 2022.

• Designates a specific class of claimants as "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors" and defines that term by reference to a 2014 court order.
• Requires release and payment of funds that had been previously withheld and allocated to those creditors.
• Allows those creditors to participate in future payment rounds under the same terms as other eligible claimants, even if they submitted conditional payment applications previously.
• Applies retroactively as if enacted on December 29, 2022.
• Does not create new spending beyond distributing already-collected or allocated funds.
• Changes are narrowly targeted to plaintiffs tied to the September 11, 2001 attacks identified in a specific court order.
• Imposes administrative adjustments on the agency managing distributions to update claimant eligibility and payment calculations.
• Does not modify substantive liability law or expand eligible claimant categories beyond the defined group.
