Individual Application

This fund was rescinded on August 2–3, 2026. There is no claims process.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order stating that the Attorney General's May 18, 2026 order establishing the Anti-Weaponization Fund "is rescinded and shall have no force or effect." There is no operating fund, no Commission, no application portal, and no date on which any of those is scheduled to exist. Any deadline, portal-opening date, or application step described further down this page was written before that order and is no longer live.

The rescission ended the implementing order but did not rescind the settlement provision obligating the Attorney General to create such a fund, which can be modified only by written agreement of the parties. The underlying litigation is unresolved. That is a narrow, technical opening — not a reason to expect a payout.

Nothing on this page is a prediction that the fund will reopen, and no one should spend money on the assumption that it will. Current coverage: fund status tracker. If you are dealing with a different legal problem, start at your rights, class actions, or find a lawyer.

Anti-Weaponization Fund Claim
for Individuals

If you were personally targeted by a federal agency — IRS audit, FBI investigation, DOJ prosecution, or other government action — you may be eligible for compensation from the Anti-Weaponization Fund.

You may qualify if you

  • Were subjected to an IRS audit, inquiry, or enforcement action you believe was politically motivated
  • Were investigated or surveilled by the FBI, DOJ, or other federal agency without adequate legal basis
  • Faced selective prosecution or criminal referral tied to political activity or association
  • Had travel restricted, a passport denied, or assets frozen by a federal agency
  • Were named in a subpoena, grand jury proceeding, or civil investigative demand as part of a political investigation
  • Suffered professional, reputational, or financial harm as a direct result of the government action
