The Jewish Claims Conference, which helped negotiate the deal with the government, praised the deal as a “long-delayed measure of justice” to former laborers in German ghettos. According to the Conference, the survivors are entitled to German Social Security for Work in Ghettos, for laboring "voluntarily" and for having received some form of remuneration during their time in Nazi-era ghettos.</blockquote>Stephen C.
