How do individuals get paid?
Each reward nomination is considered on a case-by-case basis. The process for paying a reward is as follows: Either a U.S. investigating agency, such as the Department of Defense or the FBI, or a U.S. embassy abroad, must first nominate a person for a reward. An interagency committee then carefully evaluates the information. If the Interagency Rewards Committee believes an individual is eligible for a reward, it recommends that the Secretary of State approve a reward. The recommendation of the Committee, however, is not binding. The Secretary of State has complete discretion over whether or not to authorize a given reward, and can change the amount of the reward, within the terms of the law. If there is a federal criminal jurisdiction in the matter, the Secretary requests the concurrence of the Attorney General before paying the reward.
