Probably never. Both the government and the Mormons have put the situation behind them. Also, the US government has no way of compensating that many people - they are already trillions of dollars in debt. The time, effort, and money involved in compensating that many people (the number of people whose ancestors were affected by that is probably in the tens to hundreds of thousands today) is simply not available.
