Nationally, 16,000 survivors and heirs will be receiving these $1,000 checks.
The deadline for filing Holocaust-era insurance claims to the ICHEIC expired Dec. 31, 2003. More than 400 claims for unpaid insurance policies were
filed by 194 survivors and their heirs in Washington. Most claimants knew the names of the insurance companies or had traced documents proving they owned policies.
The ICHEIC predicts a resolution of all Holocaust-era insurance claims by the end of 2004, and expects all appeals to be decided by the middle of 2005.
The Humanitarian Fund was established by ICHEIC and is funded by companies participating in the ICHEIC process along with the German Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future." The process was established to acknowled
ge that many insurance claims from the Holocaust era cannot be matched or settled due to the ravages of war and the passage of time.
