How to Register

Registration is not the same as filing a claim.  Registration preserves the right to file your claim in the future, waives no legal rights, and does not obligate you to file a claim.

You may register at any time, so long as you do so before your individual Registration Deadline.  The VCF encourages early registration for all potential claimants, even if you are not sick or certified by the WTC Health Program. 

The steps below will show you how to register online.  If you are not able to access a computer to register online, you can register over the phone by calling the VCF Helpline at 1-855-885-1555.

You will need the username and password for your online account.  For instructions on how to create your online account, see “How to Create an Account.”

 

Go to https://www.claims.vcf.gov/Account/Login to access your online account.  We recommend that you bookmark this link once your online account has been created. 

 

Step 1. You will return to the Welcome screen.
