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. Friday, January 18, 2002 10:35 AM VICTIM'S COMPENSATION FUND My sister (38 years old) was a victim of the WTC tragedy. Under the current plan my mother would receive nothing from the fund. My sister was at the higher income level and was single (lived with someone for 18 yrs). According to the tables, my sister was not worth much. The table does not take into accound future salaries until retirement (they say each victim would have spent most of their salaries). My sister did not have any expenses since she lived with a man who paid all the bills, therefore she could have saved all her earnings. My sister has also been descriminated against for not having children, although had she lived she may have had children. Another concern is that my sister's insurance beneficiary was not her mother (who is the legal "next of kin"). How can insurance be subtracted? There should at least be a non-economic (pain and suffering) payment to all the families without any deductions. I can't believe a human life is only worth $250,000, especially when they were murdered!
