Questions regarding september 11 fund
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have a few questions regarding the calculations and distributions from the
September 11 fund. They are:
1) Will housing allowances, and other cash benefits received by military
personnel killed in the Pentagon attack be included in the annual salary used
to determine the range listed in the compensation chart? This was considered
by individuals as a very important part of the individuals compensation plan.
2) If an expecting mother delivered a child 1 1/2 months after the attack,
would this child be considered a dependent and accounted for on the
compensation chart? The surviving spouse will claim this child as dependent
on their 2001 tax return.
3) Will survivor benefits (veterans administration benefits and social
security) be considered collateral offsets? This is not a pension as the
victim did not retire from the military.
4) For a victim that was a Military Officer, retiring in less than 4 years,
expecting to go into private industry in a professional/executive position
earning an average of 50%-100% more annually would you consider this private
industry salary when calculating his future earnings. If so how do we
calculate his compansation range on the chart? If not, why not?
Thank you for your response.
