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, March 13, 2002 5:34 PM Presumed Loss Calculations Dear Sir: I am a certified public accountant who is involved in advising some of the families of the September 11th attacks. I have reviewed the final regulations with respect to the Victim Compensation Fund, issued by the Department of Justice on March 7, 2002. I have developed a model to determine economic loss based on the Department's recently issued, Explanation of Process for Computing Presumed Economic Loss. I would expect that using the explanation and the accompanying tables I should be able to replicate the calculation of the amounts reflected in the revised tables of Presumed Economic and Non-Economic Loss. As a test case, I tried to calculate the presumed loss of a married decedent with one dependent who was 30 years old and earned $100,000 at the time of death. Unfortunately, I have not been able to come close to the amounts in the Table. My calculation of combined economic and non-economic loss totals $3,992,028 compared to $3,007,608 as reflected in the table, representing a difference of $964,420. I have reviewed my calculations as well as the DOJ Explanation and the accompanying tables to no avail. This is very perplexing. Obviously, I have misinterpreted something somewhere, but I am at a loss as to where. I would ask that you please provide an example illustrating how the presumed economic losses were determined. I have attached herewith a copy of my calculations for your review if you choose to do so. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Very truly yours, Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-03-13 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
