Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Thursday, November 15, 2001 10:10 AM Structured Settlements Many of the victims of the 9/11 tragedy are children. A structured settlement can assure the financial security of child victims with a benefit schedule designed to satisfy their immediate and future needs, ie. education. We suggest that the plan to settle claims under the September 11 Compensation Fund include a process to immediately segregate claims involving children, with the expectation that such claims can be put on a "fast track" settlement mode. Given a child's date of birth, a settlement offer can quickly be initiated using a generic structured settlement design that includes a college fund and/or lump sum payouts at varying age levels. The structured settlement proposal can easily be adjusted to satisfy other needs as they are assessed. In most instances, a structured settlement can best provide the financial security for all victims of 9/11 that we believe the September 11 Compensation Fund was set up to assure them. And, because structured settlements drive directly at specific claimant needs, these claims can be resolved within a short time span. We appreciate the opportunity to comment, and welcome your questions and comments in return.
