I was very proud to step into the role of Special Master in March 2023, particularly as a native New Yorker and someone who was raised to respect and value public service. In the months since, I have been struck by many things that I hadn’t fully anticipated – chief among them the need to inform the public about the VCF and to ensure that every person who might be eligible for a VCF award is aware of the program and has the resources and support they need to register and file a claim.

This report summarizes the VCF’s 12th year of operation, and focuses on the significant changes, challenges, and achievements of 2023. With the appointment of permanent Special Master Allison Turkel in March, the VCF began a new era of leadership, continuing to focus on the needs of the 9/11 community and building the tools to support the program’s longevity. The Fund hit new milestones, awarding $12.8 billion to over 56,600 claimants since re-opening in October 2011. In addition, in 2023 the VCF decided more claims and issued more award dollars than in any previous year.

Podczas ładowania nowego formularza ACH należy również załączyć pismo z oświadczeniem, że nowy formularz ma zastąpić informacje bankowe powiązane obecnie z wnioskiem.  W przypadku zmiany adresu proszę zadzwonić do naszej Linii Pomocy pod numer 1-855-885-1555, aby dokonać zmiany adresu w naszych aktach.

如果您已从VCF收到至少一笔赔款，并且您的银行信息自处理上次赔款以来已变更，您必须尽快填写一份新的《ACH支付信息表》并上传至您的线上索赔。您上传新的ACH表格时，应该附上一封信以说明该新表格应该代替当前与您的索赔相关的银行信息。如果您的地址已变更，请拨打求助热线 1-855-885-1555 以协助更新您在VCF的记录。

La apelación puede ser presentada dentro de los 30 días después de que el VCF le notifique la decisión de elegibilidad o compensación en su reclamo. Usted podrá apelar una decisión de elegibilidad únicamente cuando la carta de denegación de elegibilidad y de la carta de determinación incluyan el Formulario de Solicitud de Apelación.
