Thirty-eight claimants will soon receive a portion of the $5.3 million raised through the Aurora Victim Relief Fund, according to an announcement by Governor John Hickenlooper's office. As per a protocol developed by fund "special master" Ken Feinberg, those who lost family members in the Aurora theater shooting and those who were permanently injured will receive the most -- $220,000 each -- while those who suffered less serious injuries will get less.

Hickenlooper's office provided the following breakdown:

The fund closed on Thursday, Nov. 15, with a final balance of $5,338,360.32. The Governor's Office processed claims for 57 individuals -- 38 claims were approved by Feinberg and 19 claims were denied because they did not qualify under previously announced protocols. The final payments are:

12 claimants related to people killed in the Aurora movie theater, as well as 5 claimants who suffered permanent brain damage or permanent physical paralysis, will each receive $220,000.

6 claimants who were hospitalized for 20 days or more will each receive $160,000.

2 claimants who were hospitalized for between 8 and 19 days will each receive $91,680.

13 claimants who were hospitalized for between 1 and 7 days will each receive $35,000.

Due to the limited amount of money in the fund, victims who did not require overnight hospitalization and claims for mental trauma cannot be compensated. Free counseling for all victims is still available.
