victims' comments
Some comments are so far off base in reading them.
Many of the benefits that need to be deducted like business travelers
insurance and company life insurance and AD&D were free benefits, readers!!
In many instances these total $2,000,000.
They were an executive/employee benefit. The higher one's salary, the
higher these numbers are!
Further, many writers fail to realize that widow(ers) have received the
above, whereas parents/
the first family of divorce - did not get this benefit.
So, widows(ers) walk into the fund with $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 of company
benefits and
the divorced and children walk into the fund with 0.
I think the writers are failing to see the inequity. Not everyone divorced
wanted to be in that situation either.
Writers are complaining that victims should not be penalized for being savvy
in financial planning, but in many instances if was all gift from employer
as part of their benefits package.
Thank you.
