Definition
Programs that provide information and legal assistance for Holocaust survivors regarding the compensation and restitution programs for which they are eligible (including the Swiss Banks Settlement, the German Slave/Forced Labor Fund, The Austrian National Fund, the Austrian General Settlement Fund, the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims, and pensions for voluntary work in eligible ghettos) as well as address other areas of concern. The programs may help Holocaust survivors understand the eligibility criteria for benefits, the benefits provided, the payment process and the rights of beneficiaries; provide consultation and advice; help them complete benefits application forms; negotiate on their behalf and/or represent them in situations where litigation is required.
