§4220 — Title 50 War and National Defense | U.S. Code

Summary

Starting October 1, 1990, payments under this part must be treated as entitlement payments for eligible people. But if someone is eligible because of the Civil Liberties Act Amendments of 1992 and is not of Japanese ancestry, those payments are not entitlements. Those payments must come from discretionary appropriations, and funds for them were authorized for fiscal year 1993 and each year after as needed. Definitions: discretionary appropriations — meaning in 2 U.S.C. 900(c)(7). entitlement — means “spending authority” as defined in 2 U.S.C. 651(c)(2)(C).
