    (a) Notwithstanding section 3663 or 3663A, and in addition to any 
other civil or criminal penalties authorized by law, the court shall 
order restitution for any offense under this chapter.
    (b)(1) The order of restitution under this section shall direct the

the full amount of the victim's losses, as determined by the court under 
paragraph (3) of this subsection.
    (2) An order of restitution under this section shall be issued and 
enforced in accordance with section 3664 in the same manner as an order 
under section 3663A.
    (3) As used in this subsection, the term ``full amount of the 
victim's losses'' has the same meaning as provided in section 2259(b)(3) 
and shall in addition include the greater of the gross income or value 
to the defendant of the victim's services or labor or the value of the 
victim's labor as guaranteed under the minimum wage and overtime 
guarantees of the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. 201 et seq.).
    (c) As used in this section, the term ``victim'' means the 
individual harmed as a result of a crime under this chapter, including, 
in the case of a victim who is under 18 years of age, incompetent, 
incapacitated, or deceased, the legal guardian of the victim or a 
representative of the victim's estate, or another family member, or any 
other person appointed as suitable by the court, but in no event shall 
the defendant be named such representative or guardian.
