Plain Language Summary

# Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act of 2025 would address insurance policies sold by European insurance companies before and during World War II that were never paid out to Holocaust victims and their heirs. If passed, the bill would establish mechanisms to identify these unpaid claims and create a process for affected families to recover compensation. The legislation aims to hold insurance companies accountable for policies that were abandoned or unpaid due to the Holocaust. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily affect survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants who may have had family members with unpaid insurance claims from that era.

It could also impact modern-day insurance companies with historical ties to European insurers operating during World War II, as they could face requirements to locate and settle these historical claims. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee as of the 119th Congress, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Representative David Kustoff (R-TN).
