What Is the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission?

An independent agency operating within the Department of Justice, the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC) is responsible for adjudicating claims on behalf of U.S. nationals whose rights have been violated by a foreign government. The FCSC handles claims of this kind under international claims settlement agreements, at the request of the Secretary of State, or under specific power granted by Congress.

FCSC claims are paid from:

• Congressional appropriations;
• International claims settlements; or
• Liquidation of foreign assets in the U.S.

If you have suffered harm as a result of state-sponsored terrorism, we are here for you. Our Washington DC terrorism claim attorneys at Fay Law Group can determine whether the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission should adjudicate your claim and can help you file before or after a settlement agreement has been achieved with the other country.

To find out if you may be entitled to compensation, call (202) 589-1300. We help terrorism victims in Maryland, the District of Columbia, across the U.S., and worldwide.
