I am completely shocked by the treatment of Government
employees

My husband worked for The New York State Department of Taxation as well as 39
others. We are all receiving death pensions which are payable for life OR
until remarried. If we remarry we lose our death benefit. This settlement
basically eliminates hard working government employees from receiving ANY
settlement under this law when taking into consideration our lifelong pension
and other government benefits. This forces us into legal action because we
have NO options. There are no minimums for us. OUR PENSIONS were our future
wages that we sacrificed for in our low paying jobs knowing that one day we
will be rewarded. Our pensions are BONUSES not collateral source income. HELP
US.

How can the Government hurt their employees so harshly. The government
murdered our spouses and now they are punishing us again.
