Justice for the Living Victims of Lockerbie Act
This bill establishes a $20 million trust fund to compensate specific surviving victims of the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing. It defines qualifying individuals as U.S. citizens over 45 on December 3, 1991, who worked for Pan Am that day, were named in a prior lawsuit, and were alive as of August 14, 2008. The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission will verify claims within 60 days of filing, then certify eligible claimants to the Treasury for payment. Compensation will be calculated by dividing the $20 million fund equally among all approved claims. The bill directly affects qualifying survivors (or their estates) who met all five defined criteria.
