The Defined Monetary Assistance Victims Reserve

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.
