A living claimant gets at least $50,000 plus medical costs
What the document says“the amount of compensation under this section shall be in an amount that is the greater of $50,000 or the total amount of compensation for which the individual is eligible under paragraph (2).”
The section pays a living claimant the greater of $50,000 or their documented out-of-pocket medical expenses from the specified disease, shown by contemporaneous written medical records, reports or billing statements made by or at the direction of a licensed medical professional who treated them, covering expenses not paid or reimbursed through public or private health insurance, employee health insurance, workers' compensation or any other health program or benefit. No such medical expense claim may be paid unless the papers go in on or before December 31, 2028.
What the document actually says“the amount of compensation under this section shall be in an amount that is the greater of $50,000 or the total amount of compensation for which the individual is eligible under paragraph (2).”
A living claimant gets $50,000 at least. They get more if their costs run higher.
Those costs must be shown with papers. Only costs no one else paid count. The papers are due by December 31, 2028.
