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, December 28, 2001 2:44 PM comments Thank you for taking the time to solicit comments on the fund rules. My main concern is when families review the chart to see the "award" then deduct "collateral" sources, it leaves nothing for many of the families. Families who had life insurance & pension plans should not be "punished" by the fund. A court of law would never deduct life insurance & pensions from any settlements, so the fund shouldn't either! I suggest that you go back to congress & have them amend the law to deduct collateral sources from the awards. I also suggest that you set up a guaranteed minimum for all families who will receive nothing after deducting collateral sources. I calculated my families award, then deducted life insurance & pensions and it left my family with ZERO. As a result, I am getting the paperwork ready to file a lawsuit against the airlines. This is a prime example of the aggravation that the fund has caused my family. Either we accept ZERO from the fund or file a very winnable lawsuit against the airlines. Unless the law to deduct collateral sources is amended, I feel that many families will also file lawsuits. Isn't this what you were trying to stop in the first place?
