World Trade Center (WTC) 9/11 Illnesses and Cancers

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Victim Compensation Act (VCF) of 2010, the most current federal legislation helping to provide health monitoring and financial aid to workers who became sick or injured due to the WTC attack on 9/11, was signed into law on January 2, 2011 by President Obama. The bill approved $4.2 billion for compensation those suffering injuries and illnesses as a result of the attack itself or their service in 911 recovery efforts. The VCF was reauthorized on December 18, 2015 with benefits extending to 2020 and now allowing anyone who was present in lower Manhattan, south of Canal Street or at the Freshkills Landfill any time from September 11, 2001 to May 31, 2002 file a claim if they are suffering from a WTC related injury, illness or cancers.
