The Japanese American redress fund paid per capita damages only to survivors.

Evidence

The final and perhaps most significant recommendation, supported by every commissioner except Congressman Lungren, was that Congress establish a fund of 1.5 billion for the “personal redress” of Japanese Americans. The fund was intended “to provide a one-time per capita compensatory payment of 20,000 to each of the approximately 60,000 surviving persons excluded from their places of residence pursuant to Executive Order 9066.” — Dorothy A. Brown, Getting to Reparations, 211

Categorization

• ADDENDUM: This instantiates the sacrifice/burden theme: payment to living survivors only, echoing Brown’s concern in the sacrifice article about who actually bears loss.
• QUESTION: Payments went only to surviving victims - how does Brown weigh survivor-only payments vs. descendants for slavery reparations?
