Women who say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein can file claims against his $634 million estate starting Thursday through an out-of-court program run by a former top official at the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.

The Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program expects to receive claims from more than 70 women. Jordana Feldman, the former deputy special master of the September 11th fund, will serve as independent administrator.

“This program provides victims of Jeffrey Epstein the opportunity to be heard outside the glare of public courtroom proceedings, and to receive acknowledgment by an independent third party as to the legitimacy of their experience and the long-term suffering it has wrought,” Feldman said in a release.

“Treating victims with dignity and respect and providing them with appropriate compensation is central to our work with the program, even as we recognize that no amount of money will erase the years of pain these victims have endured.”

The Epstein claims program was designed by Ken Feinberg and Camille Biros, who run similar programs for victims of child abuse at the hands of pedophile Catholic priests.

Epstein accusers have signaled a willingness to participate, despite initial reservations. Many of the more than a dozen lawsuits filed by women against the estate for Epstein’s alleged abuse have been put on pause while they participate in the program.

It is unclear whether Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former associate, will be classified as an employee under the plan. However, Feldman said, "It's my understanding the estate intends to include [Maxwell] as a former employee."

Briefing reporters last week, a senior U.S. official involved in the negotiations said the interest payments were made to Iran in a "fairly above-board way," using a foreign central bank. But the official, who wasn't authorized to be quoted by name and demanded anonymity, wouldn't say if the interest was delivered to Iran in physical cash, as with the $400 million principal, or via a more regular banking mechanism.

The money came from a little-known fund administered by the Treasury Department for settling litigation claims. The so-called Judgment Fund is taxpayer money Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed, allowing the president to bypass direct congressional approval to make a settlement. The U.S. previously paid out $278 million in Iran-related claims by using the fund in 1991.

Report Regarding the Third Distribution2pro rata basis out of available funds. As the Fund is replenished, eligible claimants may receive payments out of available funds in subsequent distribution rounds until all claims have been paid in full or the Fund terminates in 2030.

a. Initial Distribution The Act required that the Special Master authorize the initial round of payments within one year of its passage in December 2015. Id. at (d)(2). The Department of Justice and the Special Master rapidly established Fund procedures and operations, and accepted applications until December 2, 2016. The Fund received a total of 2,883 applications in 2016 for consideration for initial payments. The Special Master determined that 2,332 of them were eligible claims from qualifying judgment holders and Iran hostage crisis victims and their spouses and children. The Fund allocated $1,104,450,000 for initial-round payments. 5 The Special Master authorized initial payments by the December 19, 2016 statutory deadline; the Fund distributed the initial round of payments in early 2017.

b. Second Distribution During the application period for second-round payments,6 the Fund received 3,743 new applications. The Special Master determined that 3,172 of them were eligible claims, based on qualifying final judgments obtained during the application period. On December 13, 2018, the Fund notified eligible claimants of their second-round award payment amounts, in advance of the January 1, 2019 statutory deadline. Id. at (d)(4). The Fund allocated $1.095 billionfor second-round payments. On January 2, 2019, the Fund began issuing the second-round payments on a rolling basis.

c. Third Distribution The Clarification Act, enacted in November 2019, amended the Fund’s governing legislation in significant ways that affected the Fund’s third-round distribution. The Clarification Act re-opened the application period,7 and specified a deadline of February 19, 2020 to accept applications, and a deadline of May 19, 2020 to authorize payments. The Clarification Act also removed a provision of the Act that precluded payments to otherwise eligible claimants who had Report Regarding the Third Distribution3received an award or an award determination from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF), and altered the eligibility requirements for certain Iran hostage crisis victims.8The Fund received 7,893 new applications for the third round of distributions.

The Fund continues to accept applications for the next round of payments, the timing of which depends on the availability of sufficient funds. Under the terms of the Clarification Act, the Fund will make its last obligations no later than January 2, 2030. Id. at (e)(6)

1. SOURCES OF FUNDING After a one-time appropriation of $1.025 billion for fiscal year 2017, id. at (e)(5), all funding for this victim compensation program comes from proceeds of federal enforcement actions. Specifically, the Act directs that certain funds and property forfeited or paid to the United States as criminal or civil penalties or fines after December 18, 2015 must be transferred to the Fund. Id. at (e)(2). All of the proceeds of qualifying criminal cases must be deposited. The Clarification Act increased the percentage of qualifying civil matters that must be deposited into the Fund from 50 percent to 75 percent. 9 The Fund provides on its website a list of cases or matters where some or all of the qualifying proceeds and penalties have been deposited into the Fund. 10 The Fund updates the list periodically after additional funds from qualifying cases or matters are deposited into the Fund.
