The recent deadline doesn’t mean it’s too late to register. There’s still time for you to register with the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.

In addition to the eligibility requirements of exposure to toxic dust at a 9/11 crash site and the development of a covered illness or injury, there are important deadlines that determine whether or not you may still file a claim. These deadlines primarily apply to the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, the 9/11 benefits program that issues monetary compensation awards for the pain, suffering, and lost earnings caused by 9/11-related physical conditions.

Register Today. You May Be Eligible For Free Healthcare And Compensation

If you or a loved one were in Lower Manhattan between 9/11/2001 and 7/31/2002 you may be entitled to compensation. Remember…there is still time to apply and the 911 compensation lawyers at our firm are standing by to answer any questions you may have about deadlines as they relate to your particular circumstances.

9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Deadlines

The applicable deadline is the date by which the required forms must be submitted/uploaded to your online claim or postmarked (if sending by mail). If the date falls on a Sunday or a Federal Government holiday, the forms must be submitted/uploaded or postmarked by the next business day for a 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund claim are registration and filing deadlines.

Our 9/11 Compensation Lawyers Explain the Registration Deadline

The first deadline is the date by which you must register your claim with the Victim Compensation Fund. This date is different for each claimant and depends on individual circumstances, most importantly the Registration Start Date. The Registration Start Date is defined as the date on which the claimant knew or reasonably should have known: (1) that the victim suffered physical harm as a result of the terrorist-related aircraft crashes of September 11, 2001, or debris removal in the immediate aftermath, and (2) that the claimant was eligible to file a claim with the VCF. Prior to the newly announced deadlines, the VCF declared the start date of the two-year deadline to register for 9/11 victim compensation as the date on which an illness or condition was first diagnosed. The below chart lists the deadlines that correspond to the claimant’s individual Registration Start Date.

Filing Deadline

The second deadline is the date by which you must fully file your completed forms and all required supporting documents. This date is the same for all claimants: October 1, 2090. If the government does not have everything it needs to process your claim by this date, it is possible your VCF claim will be denied or inaccurately calculated with no recourse.

Fund Closure Date

The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund is currently due to close on October 1, 2090. No new claims or documents will be accepted beyond this point, although pending claims may continue to be processed as is – meaning it is very important to fully submit a complete claim as soon as possible.

Funding Limitations

In addition to the above deadlines, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund has limited funding available. Compensation awards are currently being disbursed on a first-come, first-serve basis, with no plans for additional funding. 

World Trade Center Health Program Deadlines

Generally, there are no deadlines concerning the World Trade Center Health Program other than its 2090 expiration date.
