Justice for the Living Victims of Lockerbie Act

This bill would create a trust fund in the U.S. Treasury to pay certain former Pan American World Airways employees who were named claimants in a lawsuit against Libya. To qualify, a person must be a U.S. person, have been 45 or older and employed by Pan Am on December 3, 1991, have been a named claimant in the Abbott v. Libya case, and have been alive on August 14, 2008. The bill would provide $42,066,338 to the fund. The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission would set up a claims process, decide who qualifies, and certify approved claims to the Treasury. Each approved claimant, or the estate of a deceased claimant, would receive an equal share of the total amount.
