Notice
The Personal Representative is filing a claim with the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund (USVSST Fund) on behalf of the deceased Victim. The Personal Representative is sending you this Notice to inform you about the claim. You are not required to take any action in response to this Notice.
Additional Information
Only one claim may be filed in connection with the death of a deceased Victim. The deceased Victim’s Personal Representative must file that claim. The USVSST Fund must direct any payment to the Personal Representative.
The Personal Representative is informing you that a claim is being filed on behalf of the deceased Victim because the Personal Representative is required to give notice of claim filing to the deceased Victim’s immediate family; to the Executor, Administrator, and beneficiaries of the deceased Victim’s will; and to other people who might reasonably be expected to assert an interest in an award or to have a cause of action to recover damages relating to the wrongful death of the deceased Victim.
You are not required to take any action in response to this Notice. However, up to 30 days following receipt of notice, parties who assert a financial interest in the award may file with the Special Master an objection to the authority of the individual identified to file the claim as the Personal Representative. If timely filed, an objection will be treated as evidence of a “dispute.” The Special Master shall not be required to arbitrate, litigate, or otherwise resolve any disputes as to the identity of the Personal Representative. Additional information is available in the USVSST Fund’s Notice published in the Federal Register, 81 Fed. Reg. 45,538 (July 14, 2016).
