Reward payment amounts are based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the value of the information provided; the level of threat mitigated by the information received; the severity of danger or injury to U.S. persons or property presented by the threat; the risk faced by a source and his/her family; and the degree of a source’s cooperation. No payments are made in exchange for testimony.
A payment to a source may be any amount up to the total dollar amount of an advertised reward offer.
