JWI is lobbying in support of the Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (H.R.8061/S.4514) to add additional sources of revenue to the Crime Victims Fund in order to prevent further cuts to VOCA grants. VOCA victim assistance grants were cut by $630 million (40%) in FY'24. JWI has also expressed concern about provisions in H.R.8419, the American Victims of Terrorism Compensation Act, that would divert money away from the Crime Victims Fund and deposit it into the US Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund at a time when the CVF is depleted.
