Justice for the Living Victims of Lockerbie Act

This bill creates a $42,066,338 trust fund to compensate specific survivors of the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 bombing (Lockerbie attack). It directly affects U.S. citizens who were 45+ years old, employed by Pan Am on December 3, 1991, named in the Abbott v. Libya lawsuit, and alive as of August 14, 2008. The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission will verify claims within 60 days of a public notice, then certify eligible claimants to the Treasury. Payments will be made equally to each approved claimant from the fixed $42 million fund, with deceased claimants' estates handled through personal representatives.
