This fund was rescinded on August 2–3, 2026.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signed an order stating that the Attorney General's May 18, 2026 order establishing the Anti-Weaponization Fund "is rescinded and shall have no force or effect."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 Small Businesses

Your business may qualify if it
- Was subjected to an IRS audit, employment tax enforcement, or financial investigation you believe was politically motivated
- Had contracts, licenses, or permits revoked, delayed, or denied by a federal agency
- Was raided, subpoenaed, or named in a DOJ or FBI investigation without adequate legal basis
- Faced coordinated regulatory actions across multiple federal agencies
- Lost employees, customers, or business relationships as a direct result of the government action
- Has fewer than 100 employees and estimated damages under $1 million (larger organizations should consider Enterprise)
