Civil Penalty Fund: consumer education and financial literacy
If funds remain after all eligible victims have received full compensation (or if further compensation to victims is otherwise not practicable), Civil Penalty Fund money may go toward consumer education and financial literacy programs. These initiatives are structured to help consumers make sound financial decisions that serve their own financial goals.
Program implementation
The Bureau hires outside contractors to provide consumer education and financial literacy programs and to ensure their effectiveness. Procurement opportunities will be posted as CPF funds are allocated.
