Beginning October 1, 1990, payments to eligible individuals generally are entitlements. Payments to certain non-Japanese-ancestry individuals are instead made from discretionary appropriations.
(a) In general. Subject to sections 4214(e) and 4215(g), and except as subsection (b) provides, payments to an eligible individual* under this subchapter are an entitlement beginning October 1, 1990.
(b) Discretionary payments. (1) A payment to a person who is not of Japanese ancestry but qualifies because of the 1992 Civil Liberties Act amendment is not an entitlement and must come from discretionary appropriations. (2) Congress authorizes whatever amounts are needed for those payments for fiscal year 1993 and each later fiscal year.
(c) Definitions. “Discretionary appropriations” has the meaning in section 900(c)(7) of title 2. “Entitlement” means “spending authority” as defined in section 651(c)(2)(C) of title 2.
Subject to sections 4214(e) and 4215(g) of this title and except as provided in subsection (b), beginning on October 1, 1990, the payments to be made to any eligible individual* under the provisions of this subchapter shall be an entitlement.
Any such payment made to an individual who is not of Japanese ancestry and who is an eligible individual on the basis of the amendment made by section 3 of the Civil Liberties Act Amendments of 1992 shall not be an entitlement and shall be made from discretionary appropriations.
There are authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 1993 and each subsequent fiscal year such sums as may be necessary for the payments from discretionary appropriations described in paragraph (1).
As used in this section—
the term “discretionary appropriations” has the meaning given that term in section 900(c)(7) of title 2; and
the term “entitlement” means “spending authority” as defined in section 651(c)(2)(C) 1 of title 2.
