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. Thursday, November 15, 2001 10:37 AM Structured Settlements As a member of NSSTA and a Certified Structured Settlement Consultant, my comments as they relate to the victims compensation fund are different from any you will receive from other NSSTA members. That's because I am not a traditional broker who is licensed and appointed to sell a one-size-fits-all product: the structured settlement annuity. I work with a full service, fully-integrated brokerage firm with a focus on securities and managed products of all kinds. The major difference in the traditional structured settlement broker and me is that I am a registered rep with the NASD, and - as you would know - regulated by the SEC as a representative of a NYSE member firm. I am fully authorized by my firm, and fully qualified, licensed and appointed to ascertain what product or service is the absolute most suitable for any given recipient of settlement/qualified fund proceeds. Suitability is key, and is based on personal and family situations, previous financial products experience, and myriad intricacies that are only revealed in some sort of interview setting. Why the long-winded prelude to my love for periodic payment and the annuity product? There are certainly survivors who lost the money manager of the house. There are most certainly lost souls who will not have a clue as to how to manage their financial affairs. Periodic payments funded by a structured settlement annuity would most assuredly benefit the overwhelmed, as the internal rate of return is guaranteed, the beneficiary - in most cases - cannot outlive the payments, and the principal is managed by the issuer for the benefit of the payee...a wonderfully mindless way to fund a future. Of course, there will be the financially astute group of recipients that will only need the comfort of their trusted financial advisor to plan their families' futures. Suitability as a strict doctrine of guidance should determine the needs of others, and should the structured settlement annuity product be deemed most suitable, my advocacy is undying. I am yours for the best possible result with each and every victim, and I am yours for a better America.
