population in the <span class=\"xn-location\">State of California<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The program is independent of Church control and open to anyone who has been sexually abused as a minor by a priest of a participating dioceses, no matter when that abuse might have occurred.\u00a0 ICP Administrators Feinberg and Biros, nationally recognized administrators, have complete autonomy to assess the eligibility of individual claims and determine compensation amounts.\u00a0 The six participating dioceses have pledged to pay whatever sum that Feinberg and Biros determine is appropriate in each case.<\/p>\n<p>The ICP and IOC are urging victim-survivors to come forward to register to participate with the program before the <b><u><span class=\"xn-chron\">February 29, 2020<\/span>
