some types of compensation were offered to OKC victims, but that was mainly limited to their pre-existing relief policy of $100,000 just for being a federal employee. Additional compensation was limited to $75,000 in most cases. 50 million was earmarked for the disaster relief fund, but you can see how much of that trickled down to the victims.
as for the 9-11 victims, 2 billion dollars comes from private donations... an estimated 3 times that number will come from public government coffers. the average payout to a 9-11 victim's family will approach 1.85 million.
there was legislation sponsored by senators Nickles and Schumer to add OKC bombing victims to the same benefits as 9-11 victims, but this was rejected by the President.
OKC victims were given their legal compensatory dues, but next to nothing on top of that. This stands in stark contrast to 9-11 victims. if you want to keep it limited (my preference) do that. if you want to shower them with millions, do that, but be consistent. i suppose i fail to see the 1.83 million dollar difference.
