§1641l Unpaid Balance of Claim; Claims of United States Unaffected
Title 22 › CHAPTER 21 — SETTLEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS › SUBCHAPTER III — CLAIMS AGAINST BULGARIA, HUNGARY, RUMANIA, ITALY, AND THE SOVIET UNION › § 1641l
Summary
A partial payment does not cancel the rest of a valid claim. The person who made the claim, or the United States for them, can still try to get the unpaid amount or recover property from the foreign government or national, and any payment under this part does not affect the United States’ own claims against foreign governments.

Payment of any award made pursuant to section 1641b or 1641d of this title shall not, unless such payment is for the full amount of the claim, as determined by the Commission to be valid, with respect to which the award is made, extinguish such claim, or be construed to have divested any claimant, or the United States on his behalf, of any rights against the appropriate foreign government or national for the unpaid balance of his claim or for restitution of his property. All awards or payments made pursuant to this subchapter shall be without prejudice to the claims of the United States against any foreign government.
