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. Sunday, December 23, 2001 3:51 PM VICTIMS COMPENSATION FUND In reading the provisions of the Victins Compensation Fund, I find that Life Insurance on the insured may be considered a Collateral Source which would offset compensation. I noticed that comments were made regarding the fact that premiums may have been paid by the victims for such insurance, and the fairness to include such benefits in the offset process. Certain Life Insurance policies include Cash Values, which reduce the risk portion of the coverage. Since other assets are not being considered as Collateral Sources, it seems unfair to include the Cash Value of such Life Insurance policies. Another question would be the ownership of the Life Insurance. It is quite common for a policy to be purchased by a person other than the insured, and such Life Insurance would not be considered as part of the insured's estate for tax purposes. Would such Life Insurance be excluded from the Collateral Sources, as well?. While I understand the objective of the Fund, I am concerned about certain details which may not have been arranged with the complications mentioned above. I hope these can be explored as soon as possible, and I will appreciate your comments.
