Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 5101 — Legislative Intent and Findings., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5101. Legislative Intent and Findings.
The Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act, Title
XVII, Public Law 114-328, signed on December 23, 2016,
authorized the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC)
to conduct a supplemental war claims compensation program for
victims and survivors of the attack and occupation of Guam
during World War II. The Act covers claims for death, rape,
personal injury, severe personal injury, forced labor, forced
march, internment, and hiding to evade internment.
Approximately three thousand six hundred forty (3,640) World
War II survivors and their families from Guam have filed war
claims with the FCSC. I Liheslaturan Guåhan finds that special
amendments to the Probate Code of Guam are necessary to
permit expeditious administration of war claims awards at a
minimum cost for Guam’s war survivors who die before
receiving the award and their families.
