1. September 11th Victim Compensation Trust Fund                      
                           
Through 2005, the total value of approved claims is estimated to be $5.4 billion.  Of this amount, $60 million was obligated in FY 2002, $774 million was obligated in FY 2003.  The Civil Division anticipates a need of $4.174 billion in FY 2004, and $396 million in FY 2005 for any outstanding claims payments.      
                           
Title IV of the Air Transportation Safety and System Stabilization Act (P.L. 107-42) establishes the "September 11 Victim Compensation Fund of 2001."  This law authorizes compensation to personal representatives of deceased individuals and to those physically injured as a result of the terrorist-related aircraft crashes that day.  The Fund is administered by Special Master Kenneth Feinberg, appointed by the Attorney General.  The Act established an indefinite appropriation (which sunsets at the end of the Program), for making payments on approved claims.
