This bill aims to keep the federal Crime Victims Fund strong, so services like shelters, counseling, and victim compensation have more stable support. It adds new sources of money to the fund. First, it says money collected when the government declines to bring a criminal case (or ends it without a conviction) should go into the fund. Second, it temporarily adds some money from civil fraud cases under the False Claims Act, but not the parts that must pay whistleblowers or repay the government for its losses. The extra False Claims Act deposits last until September 30, 2030 .

In plain terms, this means more dollars can flow to victim services by widening what can be deposited. The bill does not change who qualifies for help; it changes how the fund gets money and for how long the temporary boost applies .
