This bill specifies that, in order to count as a qualifying monthly loan payment under the PSLF program, the borrower must have an adjusted gross income that does not exceed $173,000.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PAYMENT.

    The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay, out of any money in the 
Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $39,709.66 to Robert 
Feiss of Ojai, California, in compensation for payments he was entitled 
to but did not receive for years 2011 through 2013 under the Primary 
Care Incentive Payment Program established under section 1833(x) of the 
Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395l(x)) and in consideration of the 
fact--
            (1) that Robert Feiss has served as an outspoken advocate 
        for the health care needs of his patients through his work as a 
        primary care physician; and
            (2) that, on May 30, 2018, the United States Court of 
        Federal Claims found that ``It appears that, through no fault 
        of his own, plaintiff has lost over $39,000 in government 
        Medicare incentive payments that he was entitled to by 
        providing Family Practice services'' and that ``the evidence 
        strongly supports plaintiff's argument that he was providing 
        Family Practice services and should have been classified as 
        such, but a coding error denied plaintiff this status for 
        several years''.

SEC. 2. SATISFACTION OF CLAIM.

    The sum paid under section 1 shall be in full satisfaction of any 
claims that Robert Feiss may have against the United States arising on 
the basis of payments owed for years 2011 through 2013 under the 
Primary Care Incentive Payment Program described in section 1(1)(B).

SEC. 3. LIMITATION ON ATTORNEY FEES.

    Not more than 10 percent of the sum paid under section 1 shall be 
paid to or received by any agent or attorney for services rendered in 
connection with the recovery of such sum. Any person who violates this 
section shall be fined under title 18, United States Code.
