The government must pay a final judgment, award, or settlement under this chapter once someone presents an authenticated copy. Payment comes from a dedicated fund, or, if none exists, directly from the Treasury under this law.

(a) In General. Once someone presents an authenticated copy of a final judgment, arbitration award, or settlement made under this chapter, the proper U.S. accounting officer must pay it. (b) Source of Payment. That payment comes from a fund or appropriation set aside specifically for this. If there isn't one, this law itself appropriates whatever amount of Treasury money is needed — money not already committed elsewhere — to pay it.
