A Message from the Special Master - Eighth Annual Status Report

February 19, 2020

This has been a year of many challenges, and significant changes for the VCF, greatest among them the July passage of the Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act (“VCF Permanent Authorization Act”), which secured the VCF’s funding for claims and amendments filed through 2090 (see page 5).  This year also saw the departure of Deputy Special Master Jordy Feldman, who left the VCF after more than 10 years of superb and dedicated service.

1.9 What happens if a victim passes away after filing a personal injury claim?

December 26, 2019

When a claimant who has filed a personal injury claim dies, the VCF will stop processing the claim and/or payment of that claim until a Personal Representative of the deceased claimant (“decedent”) is appointed and validated by the VCF.  This protects the decedent’s personal information and ensures details about the claim are shared only with those who are authorized to access the information.

Our first priority is to render decisions on claims for those claimants who have not yet received any award. At the same time, we do continue to review amendments and use the same priority order of rendering decisions on older amendments before reviewing newer ones.

1.9 ¿Qué pasa si una víctima fallece después de haber presentado su reclamo por lesión personal?

December 26, 2019

Cuando el reclamante que ha presentado su reclamo de lesión personal muere, el VCF suspende el procesamiento de su reclamo /o pago hasta que el Representante Personal del reclamante fallecido (“fallecido”) es designado y validado por el VCF. Es así para proteger la información personal del fallecido y asegurar que los detalles del reclamo solo sean compartidos con quienes están autorizados en ley para accesar la información.

VCF FAQ

1.9 Co należy zrobić, jeśli wnioskodawca umrze po złożeniu wniosku?

December 26, 2019

W przypadku śmierci wnioskodawcy, który złożył wniosek dla osób z uszkodzeniem ciała, VCF przerwie rozpatrywanie wniosku i/lub przetwarzanie płatności takiego wniosku do czasu wyznaczenia zarządcy spadku zmarłego wnioskodawcy.  Zapewnia to ochronę danych osobowych zmarłego oraz to, że szczegóły wniosku będą udostępniane jedynie osobom upoważnionym do posiadania dostępu do tych informacji.

VCF FAQ

1.9 如果受害人在提交人身伤害索赔后去世，将会怎样？

December 26, 2019

当提交人身伤害索赔的索赔人死亡时，VCF在已故索赔人（“死者“）的个人代表没被指定并经VCF确认以前不会处理索赔和/或支付该索赔，这样可以保护死者的个人信息，并确保仅与有权访问该信息的人员共享有关索赔的详细信息。

当VCF得知索赔人已经去世时，我们将向死者的最后一个已知地址发一封信，信中解释人身伤害索赔的当前状态，以及为使VCF继续处理为死者的索赔所需采取的步骤。因为每项索赔都有其独特的情况，所以，如果您不确定如何进行索赔，请查阅来自VCF的信函并联系VCF求助热线。

VCF网站包含有关处理这些索赔的详细信息。
