Although exact payment figures are not readily available, GAO found that federal agencies and the Judgment Fund paid at least $87.4 million to federal workers and their attorneys since fiscal year 1989 as a result of federal equal employment opportunity cases. Of that about, $30.6 million was paid in fiscal years 1993 and 1994. Much of the $87.4 million was back pay to federal employees. However, at least $30.5 million was for attorney fees and costs. Of that amount, about $8.7 million was paid in fiscal years 1993 and 1994. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-28FS/html/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-28FS.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-28FS/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-28FS.pdf GAO/GGD-95-28FS https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GGD-95-28FS Other Written Product GAO/GGD-95-28FS; Discrimination Complaints: Monetary Awards in Federal EEO Cases; Employment discrimination Backpay Legal fees Federal employees Restitution Administrative costs Claims settlement Special fund appropriation accounts Payments Administrative remedies Judgment Fund Title 28 Section 1920 28 U.S.C. 1920
