5 - Under an agreement signed on January 29, 1982, the Czechoslovakian Government paid $81.5 million for settlement of all claims of U.S. nationals between January 1, 1945 and February 2, 1982. Under the Czechoslovakian Claims Settlement Act of 1981 (P.L. 97-127) Congress established a $74.55 million fund for further payment of awards under Title IV and authorized the Commission to redetermine certain claims for losses of property owned by persons who became U.S. nationals on or before February 26, 1948, and to adjudicate claims for losses arising after August 8, 1958, the end of the period covered by the First Czechoslovakian Claims Program. Funds of $5.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, were set aside by Congress for payment of these awards.

7 - Many thousands of claims for prisoner of war compensation were filed by residents in U.S. possessions and territories occupied by enemy forces during World War II who were not officially listed as members of duly recognized units of the Armed Forces of the U.S. during World War II. Those claimants were ineligible to receive prisoner of war compensation, which accounts for the high number of disallowances.
