So why then is it okay to get health insurance benefits which have been sourced by tax dollars, but not use tax dollars (and I am not certain the WTC benefits are tax dollars entirely - aren't they also from frozen terrorist assets?) to provide for victims families who may have lost the benefit due to the murder on our soil by terrorists?

Did I say it was?

Compensation can only be just when the responsible party must pay for the harm caused. To force a third party to pay the victim is immoral. To the extent terrorist assets are seized and used, that would be appropriate. Otherwise, there is no moral justification to force US taxpayers to pay for the harm that somebody else caused.
