Benefits
The state provided lifelong monetary compensation to the victims as well as health and education benefits. These are detailed in Law 19,992 and include a monthly payment of about 113,000 to 129,000 thousand Chilean pesos (in December 2004 prices, subsequently adjusted for inflation), depending on the victim's age; free healthcare in the public system for victims and their parents, spouses or children under 25 or incapacitated children of any age; free education (primary to tertiary) for victims whose studies were interrupted by their imprisonment.
There is also a special bonus of 4 million Chilean pesos for victim's children who were born in captivity or who were detained with their parents while they were minors.

Famous quotes containing the word benefits:
“One of your biggest jobs as a parent of multiples is no bigger than simply talking to your children individually and requiring that they respond to you individually as well. The benefits of this kind of communication can be enormous, in terms of the relationship you develop with each child, in terms of their language development, and eventually in terms of their sense of individuality, too.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“Through all opposition the personal benefits of the reform [dress] [bracketed word in original] have compensated; but had it been mainly sacrifice, the thought of working for the amelioration of women and the elevation of humanity would still have been the beacon-star guiding me on amid all discouragements.”
—Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)
“One of the benefits of a college education is, to show the boy its little avail.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
