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. Saturday, January 05, 2002 2:53 PM Calculation of Economic Loss Question My daughter died in the WTC bombing and I question the fairness in using the victims 1998-2000 earnings in the "Calculation of Economic Loss". In our situation my daughter graduated from college in May of 2000 and only started working full time in August of 2000. She had a non-paying internship in 1998, a summer internship in 1999 and starting working full time in August of 2000. Averaging the three years results in compensation of about $10,000 per year. By comparison, her annual salary and bonus at the time of her death was about $80,000 or about eight times the amount derived by averaging her salary for 1998-2000. I feel quite strongly that in these situations where the victim only recently joined the workforce on a full time basis only the current salary should be considered in calculating the economic loss.
