There are a variety of reasons. At the time when the design work was being done we obviously looked at a number of models and asked what the right amount was. One could debate what the right amount is.
I can tell you what some of the comparables were. We looked at workers' compensation boards, and the amounts where they are applicable tend to be significantly lower. We did look at the courts for the awards that are made there, and at the time--I would stand to be corrected--if memory serves, I believe it was around $276,000, so a bit above the $250,000 where we started. I think the current rate is around $326,000. Again I would stand to be corrected on that.
So we're a bit below where the courts stand. We are exactly where some other federal government programs were, including SISIP, which paid out $250,000 at the time.
So it was simply decided that was a middle-of-the-road, acceptable, and appropriate amount.
