The final meeting of the Eugenics Compensation Task Force will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the Governor's Crime Commission Office in Raleigh.
The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and vote upon recommendations to be included in a report due to Governor Bev Perdue by February 1.
Perdue will later send her final recommendations to the General Assembly, which ultimately is responsible for determining the type and source of any compensation provided.
The Eugenics Board of North Carolina sterilized more than 7,600 people from 1929 to 1974, calling them feeble-minded or otherwise unfit. Other states ran similar programs, but North Carolina's seems to be the only one that accelerated after World War II.
In December, task force members established the amount of $20,000 per victim as a starting point to discuss compensation. They also talked about limiting the payouts to living victims only, with minor exceptions.
Anyone wishing to submit final comments to the Task Force may do so in writing by 5 p.m. Monday, January 9.
State officials say the Sterilization Victims Foundation is continuing to receive calls from people who feel that they were impacted by the state's former Eugenics Board program, which was abolished in 1977.
