U.S. Attorney’s Office Collects $14.6 Million in Civil and Criminal Actions in Fiscal Year 2020
U.S. Attorney Peter E. Deegan, Jr. announced today that the Northern District of Iowa collected $14,652,603.88 in civil and criminal actions in Fiscal Year 2020.
Of this amount, $13,388,019.63 was collected in civil actions and $1,264,584.25 was collected in criminal actions.
“Collecting money on behalf of taxpayers and crime victims is a vital part of the U.S. Attorney’s Office mission,” U.S. Attorney Peter E. Deegan, Jr. said. “Each year, these collections far exceed the total amount of our office’s budget and result from the hard work of many individuals in our office.”
The Justice Department collected more than $15.9 billion in civil and criminal actions in fiscal year (FY) 2020 ending Sept. 30, 2020. The $15,988,516,670 in collections in FY 2020 represents more than five times the approximately $3.2 billion appropriated budget for the 94 U.S. Attorneys’ offices and the main litigating divisions of the Justice Department combined in that same period. The total includes all monies collected as a result of Justice Department-led enforcement actions and negotiated civil settlements. It includes more than $13.5 billion in payments made directly to the Justice Department, and more than $2.4 billion in indirect payments made to other federal agencies, states and other designated recipients.
The largest civil collections were from affirmative civil enforcement cases, in which the United States recovered government money lost to fraud or other misconduct or collected fines imposed on individuals and/or corporations for violations of federal health, safety, civil rights or environmental laws. In addition, civil debts were collected on behalf of several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Internal Revenue Service, Small Business Administration and Department of Education.
