A prior damages decision issued on February 7, 2020, was vacated on July 15, 2020, following a joint motion by the parties due to difficulties in establishing a guardianship for R.M. In a corrected damages decision filed July 15, 2020, Chief Special Master Corcoran awarded $50,000.00 to purchase an annuity contract payable to R.M. when he reaches the age of majority on February 9, 2036, and $1,029.27 payable to Joshua and Elisabeth Monnens for unreimbursable past expenses.
