We knew then, and still believe now, that we have a sacred duty to deliver justice and reparations to those remaining survivors and descendants, to acknowledge and help them heal from their wartime experiences and trauma,” said Governor Lou Leon Guerrero. “Recognition for wartime tragedies and trauma for too long has been a legacy issue, but our Administration made it a priority to leave behind a better legacy. One that not only honors our war survivors with fitting tributes, but also with meaningful action that uplifts their own legacies.”
“Early in our Administration, we celebrated the first war claims payments issued in the history of our island, and upon delivering the first batch of payments under our local war claims program, this milestone represents our continued commitment to ensuring no war survivor is left behind,” said Lt. Governor Josh Tenorio. “We thank the War Claims Adjudication Committee, Department of Administration and processing center staff for their hard work and dedication.”
Payments will be made for claims not seeking an appeal 45 days after they have been adjudicated and approved. Pursuant to Guam Public Law 36-73, payments to survivors of compensable Guam decedents shall be made after payments to compensable Guam victims is completed.
