# §256.30. When does the Judgment Fund pay interest?


Interest is paid when it is ordered in the judgment pursuant to a statutory, contractual or constitutional waiver of sovereign immunity. Such waivers may include interest as set forth under [41 U.S.C. 611](/usc/41/611.md) (Contract Disputes Act), [5 U.S.C. 5596](/usc/5/5596.md) (Back Pay Act), or Title VII, [42 U.S.C. 2000e-16](/usc/42/2000e-16.md) (Civil Rights Act of 1991). In addition, post-judgment interest is paid on awards eligible for interest under [31 U.S.C. 1304(b)](/usc/31/1304.md?p=b) (unsuccessful appeal by the Government).
