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 08, 2001 2:39 PM Comments My husband of almost 16 years was killed on the 105th floor in the WTC North Tower. He was an employee of . I have several comments about what I have read about the 9/11 settlement fund. 1. If I am not mistaken, this law was set up to protect the airlines from going under. Why should the U.S. Government care if I sue the Taliban, or anyone else, who has nothing to do with the airlines even if I sign on to the settlement? 2. I believe that a set minimum amount of money should be received by the family of each victim who lost their life on 9/11/01. This set amount, which would be revealed to us in advance, would enable me to evaluate whether or not it makes economic sense for me to sign on to this settlement. On top of the set minimum, all other factors should be considered such as: economic earnings potential of the victim, pain and suffering, loss of companionship etc. From this amount, subtractions would be made. 3. Will Social Security benefits and/or Worker's Compensation be subtracted from the settlement amount? I do not believe these monies should be subtracted. 4. Is the settlement amount taxable? 5. I do not agree that life insurance should be subtracted from the settlement amount. Will my premiums be reimbursed if life insurance is subtracted? 6. Will charitable contributions be subtracted?
