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. Wednesday, January 16, 2002 11:06 AM Compensation Commets Dear Sir: The men and women who died in the WTC were for the most part private citizens arriving early to work. Because they took there jobs so seriously they were at there desks. Many of them were young with small children. It is my understanding that you are not only reducing there benefit by life insurance but also by social security. How unfair. There spouses and children will only receive these payments for a limited time. It was my understanding that social security was to help the survivors get through troubled times until they reach a certain age. This should not reduce any award. As too, pensions specifically 401 K funds. The young have been encouraged to put away for there retirement. Very few today can live on Social Security alone. Are you penalizing them for saving for the future? And as to placing caps on either lost earnings or on the award itself, why did they pick the WTC? It was the heart of capitalism. For these victims to get to these positions they had to work long and hard hours. I feel the these caps should be raised and each family deserves something.
