VCF FAQ

1.3 是否有任何情况可以加快对我的索赔的审核？

December 9, 2022

有。在涉及绝症或重大经济困难的情况下，您可以要求VCF加快处理您的索赔。VCF认为“重大财务困难”包括迫在眉睫或待决的法拍或驱逐程序，或无家可归，如适当的文件所示。如果您想根据绝症诊断或经济困难寻求快速处理您的索赔，您或者您的律师（若您有律师协助您向我们的VCF索赔）必须拨打VCF的求助热线1-855-885-1555，并将任何适当的文件上传到您的索赔上。您还必须提交完整的《索赔表》和所有必需的证明文件，以便VCF拥有处理您的索赔所需的信息。如果您由律师代理您的VCF索赔，您应该寻求律师的帮助。VCF将审核该请求，并通常在48小时内通知您VCF是否接受或拒绝该请求。在批准加急处理的索赔中，假设您已提交所有必需文件，VCF通常在短到3-4周内可以处理索赔，作出裁决，并处理付款。在这些情况下，一旦发出裁决书，就会立即发出索赔付款，而您保留在三十天申诉期内上诉的权利。

Messages from the Special Master

Message from the Special Master on the 21st Anniversary of the September 11th Attacks

September 9, 2022

Dear Friends, The anniversary of the September 11th attacks is always a time for reflection. For me personally, this is the first anniversary since being appointed earlier this year as the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund’s (“VCF”) interim Special Master. Despite my relatively short time in this role, I have been touched by the stories in each claim I have reviewed, and deeply impressed by the perseverance, resilience, and humility of the community our team serves. Today, we continue to pay tribute to the lives lost and the community that came together during the recovery efforts in response to one of our country’s hardest challenges.
