Victims Compensation Fund



To Whom It May Concern;

My name is and I lost my fiance in the September 11th attacks.

He worked in 1 WTC. I received information on this fund from my support

group. There are several fiancee's in this group and we are not currently

being recognized as next of kin in NY state for government or estate

benefits, even though we were all to be married shortly and were all

currently living together.

I would like to know if fiancees can file for this fund for loss of support

and pain & suffering or does it have to be the next of kin. Since we are the

ones who have been truly affected by the loss of our fiance's incomes (as

wives are) rather than the legal next of kin, who aren't affected

financially at all, I would like to make the recommendation that

fiances/fiancees be recognized as spouses in this compensation fund.

If someone could respond and let me know how this matter will be handled, I

would very much appreciate it.

Thank you,
