Claims and Outcome Disclaimer

Submitting your information to this website does NOT mean you will qualify for compensation.

Eligibility for USVSST and related programs depends on many factors, including:

• Whether you have a final civil judgment against a state sponsor of terrorism

• Your specific role in or connection to the incident

• Documentation of injury or death

• Compliance with filing deadlines

• Government agency determinations

• Applicable law and regulations

Many veterans and family members may not qualify, even if they were affected by the incident.

Submitting your information does NOT guarantee that you will receive compensation or payment.

Even if you qualify for USVSST, compensation is not assured.

Factors that may affect compensation include:

• USVSST Fund availability and resources

• Payment priorities and allocation

• Your claim amount relative to total claims

• Government policy changes

• Fund exhaustion or limitations

Submitting your information does NOT guarantee that legal counsel will represent you.

Legal counsel will evaluate claims individually and may decline representation for various reasons, including:

• Insufficient documentation

• Questionable eligibility

• Conflicts of interest

• Resource limitations

• Strategic litigation decisions

If legal counsel pursues litigation on behalf of the group, litigation outcomes are uncertain.

Litigation may fail, resulting in no compensation.

Even if litigation succeeds, enforcement and payment can take years.

Litigation risks include:

• Unfavorable court decisions

• Appeals and reversals

• Enforcement difficulties

• Defendant insolvency

• Government policy changes

Even if you obtain a judgment or qualify for USVSST, you are NOT guaranteed to receive payment.

Payment is subject to:

• Fund availability

• Payment timelines

• Government agency decisions

• Fund prioritization

• Potential fund exhaustion

The U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund, also known as USVSST, has significant limitations:

Fund Resources: The USVSST is funded by fines, forfeitures, and assets seized from companies and individuals that illegally do business with sanctioned nations. Fund resources are limited and may be exhausted.

Payment History: As of May 2026, the USVSST has paid less than 5% of total damages ordered against Iran. This demonstrates the significant gap between judgments awarded and actual payments made.

Payment Timelines: Payment timelines are uncertain. The USVSST may take a decade or longer to fully resolve all claims. Some claimants may wait many years before receiving payment, if payment is received at all.

Fund Exhaustion: The USVSST may exhaust available resources before all claims are paid. If the fund is exhausted, remaining claimants may receive no compensation.

No Guarantee: Even if you qualify for USVSST, you may not receive full compensation, or you may wait many years to receive payment.

To qualify for USVSST compensation, you typically must have:

• A final civil judgment against Iran, Sudan, or another state sponsor of terrorism

• Documented injury or death resulting from the attack

• A valid USVSST claim filed before applicable deadlines

If you do not have a judgment, you may need to pursue Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, also known as FSIA, litigation first.

If you must pursue FSIA litigation to obtain a judgment:

• FSIA litigation is complex and uncertain

• Litigation can take years to resolve

• You may not obtain a judgment

• Even if you obtain a judgment, enforcement and collection are uncertain

• The defendant state may not have assets available for collection

• Government policy changes may affect your ability to collect

• Litigation costs and attorney fees may reduce any recovery

The June 1, 2026 deadline applies to certain USVSST claims.

However:

• This deadline may NOT apply to your specific claim

• Different incidents and claim types have different deadlines

• Missing a deadline could bar your claim permanently

• You are responsible for understanding deadlines that apply to your case

• Consult an attorney about deadlines in your specific situation

Your eligibility and potential compensation depend on many individual factors, including:

• Your specific incident and role

• Whether you have a judgment

• Your documented injuries or losses

• Government agency decisions

• Court decisions

• USVSST Fund availability

• Applicable law and regulations

• Many other factors

What applies to one veteran may not apply to another.
