Compensation Payout
The compensation benefit should not be a lump sum payout. The payout should be made in the same fashion as State Lottery winnings, i. e. a fixed amount, annual benefit made over say, 20-years, or over the actuarial life expectancy of the recipient. This way, as in the State Lotteries, the principal is intact and the interest effectively is used for the compensation. This takes some of the burden off of the TAXPAYERS. Many of whom question the validity of this precedent setting entitlement scheme.
