To authorize the payment of compensation to members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the United States who performed slave labor for Japan during World War II, or the surviving spouses of such members, and for other purposes.

This bill would provide a one-time payment of $20,000 to U.S. veterans, civilian government employees, and contractors who were held as prisoners of war by Japan during World War II and forced to perform slave labor. If the eligible individual is deceased, the compensation would be paid to their surviving spouse. The legislation aims to provide financial recognition for the hardships and unpaid labor endured by these individuals at the hands of the Japanese government or private Japanese corporations during the conflict.
