Friday, November 16, 2001 1:02 PM Comments on Sept 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 My comments on the processes and regulations for implementing the Victim Compensation Fund are: 1. Collateral sources which are deducted from the Fund compensation should only be life insurance, pension funds, death benefit payments and payments by Federal, State or local governments, as stated in the law. Funds received from charitable organizations should not be deducted. 2. A claimant should be required to waive their right to file a civil action only after a determination is made as to the amount of compensation that they will receive from the Fund, and the claimant accepts this determination. If the claimant is dissatisfied with the amount they would receive from the Fund, they should be able to waive their right to receive this amount and be allowed to file a civil action. 3. The claimant should be able to file an appeal of the amount initially determined to paid to them from the fund. If they are dissatisfied with the results of the appeal, they should be able to waive their right to receive this amount and be allowed to file a civil action. Thank you for your consideration of my comments.
