2025 marked the completion of the VCF’s 14th year of operations. We continue to serve the 9/11 community with a laser focus on remaining faithful to our statute, fair to our claimants, and defensible to the taxpayers. More than two decades later, the VCF has served tens of thousands of victims and their families, and we continue to receive around 900 new claims each month – a clear indication of the ongoing importance of our mission. The number of people who have died of 9/11-related health conditions has far surpassed the number of people who died on the day of the attacks.
