According to Lowman, there was compensation for property losses in 1948 or so.

I wrote too quickly, and stand corrected. Under the earlier law, some of the Nissei were compensated at about 10 cents on the dollar for their property losses, but nothing for the imprisonment without charges. The latter came later, and applied as I said before only to the actual internees who had survived until 1992, as I recall.
