What is the role of Superior Court in the United States Virgin Islands in the Program?\nThe Superior Court of the U.S. Virgin Islands (Probate Division) (“Probate Court”) is the court where the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein is being probated. The Probate Court approved the Program on June 3, 2020. The signed Order is available to view online. Pursuant to the Protocol, the Administrator will present reports to the Probate Court on a monthly basis of the aggregate (total) number of claims and value of claims paid. No individual claimant information or individual claim awards will be published or disclosed.\n\n2. What role does Professor Marci A. Hamilton play in the Program?\nProfessor Marci A. Hamilton, a nationally recognized sexual abuse expert, serves as a consultant to and resource for the Administrator and her staff. In certain circumstances, at the discretion of the Administrator and with the Claimant’s prior written consent, the Administrator may share the Claimant’s file with Professor Hamilton for her review and the Claimant may request that Professor Hamilton participate in a meeting with the Claimant with the Administrator. Professor Hamilton may also serve as a referral source for the Administrator in providing post-determination information to claimants who seek guidance, counseling or other services.\n\n3. Why are claimants asked to provide information about whether they have received, are receiving, and/or are entitled to receive Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits?\nIn some cases, Medicare Part A and/or Part B (“Medicare”) and/or Medicaid may assert a reimbursement claim or lien with respect to compensation awarded to an individual Claimant under the Program. As part of the claims resolution process, the Program has retained the services of a third-party vendor, Garretson Resolution Group, Inc. d/b/a Epiq Mass Tort (“Epiq”), to verify and resolve such reimbursement claims or liens asserted by Medicare and/or Medicaid related to sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein on the Program’s behalf, in an effort to minimize burden to the Claimant and ensure the continuation of benefits and proper reporting and compliance with applicable federal and state laws. With Claimant consent, the Program will release to Epiq certain information regarding the Claimant for the purpose of verifying and resolving the claim or lien. In the event that Epiq resolves the asserted claim or lien, the Estate will pay the negotiated amount in addition to any compensation determined by the Administrator.\n\n15 | Page\nDOJ-OGR-00011502",
