"The reparations program was established by the United States with France under agreements relating to the deportation of Jews by the French government during the Holocaust.
France provided $60 million to the United States to distribute to Holocaust survivors and their living families under the agreement.
Initial payments to survivors included $204,000 for those who survived their deportation, $51,000 to living surviving spouses or those deported, and a pro rata amount if the individual died after 1948.
"Payments to date on approved claims total $30,028,500," according to the State Department. "With the additional payment of 97 percent of their prior approved claim amount, living survivors would receive in total $401,880; living surviving spouses would receive up to $100,470; and heirs of survivors and surviving spouses would receive a portion of these amounts.""
