U.S. Treasury Judgment Fund — Aggregated Payments Dataset (2008–2025)

A structured aggregation of 113,969 payments made from the U.S. Treasury Judgment Fund between fiscal year 2008 and 2025, totaling $59.9 billion. The Judgment Fund is the permanent appropriation Congress created in 1956 (31 U.S.C. § 1304) to pay settlements and court judgments against the federal government. To our knowledge, this is the first public systematic aggregation of this data. The underlying records are available via the Bureau of the Fiscal Service payment search but have never been published in aggregated, analysis-ready form. Key findings: FY2020 payments spiked to $14.2B — ~10x normal volume — with 89% from a single citation category Top paying agencies: CMS ($13.6B), DOE ($13.3B), DOI ($6.0B) Federal medical malpractice under FTCA: 2,196 cases, $1.27B; VA is the largest payer Largest single payment: $1.9 billion Full analysis: https://settlementinsight.com/research/federal-government-payments Methodology: https://settlementinsight.com/methodology本数据集为2008财年至2025财年间，美国财政部赔偿基金（U.S. Treasury Judgment Fund）的113,969笔支付记录的结构化聚合集合，总金额达599亿美元。该赔偿基金是美国国会于1956年设立的永久性拨款项目（依据《美国法典》第31编第1304条，31 U.S.C. § 1304），专门用于支付针对联邦政府的和解金与法院判决赔款。 据我们所知，本次为该类数据首次面向公众开展的系统性聚合整理。原始记录可通过财政部财政服务局（Bureau of the Fiscal Service）的支付查询系统获取，但此前从未以聚合化、可直接用于分析的形式公开发布。 核心研究发现： 1. 2020财年支付金额飙升至142亿美元，约为常规规模的10倍，其中89%的款项来自单一类别援引事项； 2. 支付总额最高的三家联邦机构依次为医保与医疗补助中心（CMS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services，136亿美元）、能源部（DOE, Department of Energy，133亿美元）与内政部（DOI, Department of the Interior，60亿美元）； 3. 依据联邦侵权索赔法（FTCA, Federal Tort Claims Act）处理的联邦医疗渎职案件共计2196起，涉及总金额12.7亿美元，其中退伍军人事务部（VA, Department of Veterans Affairs）为最大支付方； 4. 单笔最高支付金额达19亿美元。 完整研究分析：https://settlementinsight.com/research/federal-government-payments 研究方法论：https://settlementinsight.com/methodology
