Sept 11 Victims Compensation
To deduct for the amounts paid for Life Insurance and Travel Accident
Insurance is insulting to the workers who died, and now to their families.
The workers paid these premiums out of pocket - or were part of their job
contract that they earned - each month, each year, instead of spending that
money in other ways.
My understanding is that the compensation package is intended to prevent
numerous lawsuits and litigation. To deny people the value of these
benefits makes this offer much less attractive, and it is a long list of
possible entities that could be named in litigation.
If a person is killed in a fatal car accident the family can collect on any
existing policies regardless of what they might be able to obtain in
possible litigation against any other party.
Why are you denying this to the victims families ?
Thank you.
