A court must impose a special assessment on each person convicted of a federal offense, with amounts based on whether the offense is an infraction, misdemeanor, or felony and whether the defendant is an individual.
(a) The court shall impose on anyone convicted of an offense against the United States— (1) for an infraction or misdemeanor: (A) if the defendant is an individual, $5 for an infraction or class C misdemeanor, $10 for a class B misdemeanor, and $25 for a class A misdemeanor; and (B) if the defendant is not an individual, $25 for an infraction or class C misdemeanor, $50 for a class B misdemeanor, and $125 for a class A misdemeanor; or (2) for a felony, $100 if the defendant is an individual and $400 if the defendant is not an individual.
(b) The amount is collected the same way criminal-case fines are collected.
(c) The duty to pay ends five years after the judgment date. This rule applies to every assessment, regardless of when it was imposed.
(d) For this section, an offense under section 13 of this title is an offense against the United States.
