31 C.F.R. § 256.1 Judgments against the United States.
Title 31 - Money and Finance: Treasury
(a) Persons securing money judgments against the United States, in excess of $100,000 in any one case, in the Court of Claims are required, in order to secure payment, to file original transcripts of such judgments with the Secretary of the Treasury for certification to the Congress for appropriation. Following receipt of an application on the part of the claimant for payment of the amount appropriated by the Congress, the General Accounting Office transmits a certificate of settlement to the Treasury Department. Payment is then made to the claimant by check drawn in the Treasury Department by the Field Operations Group, Financial Management Service. A similar procedure applies with respect to such judgments obtained in the Federal district courts, except that papers pertaining to such judgments are filed with the Secretary of the Treasury by the Department of Justice instead of by the claimant. (b) A procedure similar to that outlined in paragraph (a) of this section is followed with respect to judgments not in excess of $100,000 in any one case except that the necessary documents are filed with the General Accounting Office and no action is taken by the Treasury Department prior to the receipt of a certificate of settlement from the General Accounting Office. After receipt of a certificate of settlement a check payable from a permanent appropriation established for the payment of such judgments is drawn in the Treasury Department by the Field Operations Group, Financial Management Service and mailed to the claimant in accordance with the terms of the certificate of settlement.
