Tak, osoby biorące udział w procesie sądowym na mocy ustawy JASTA mogą złożyć wniosek VCF. Patrz sekcja 405(c)(3)(C)(i), Ustawa Zadrogi, po aktualizacji (49 U.S.C. § 40101 adnotacja). Jakiekolwiek odszkodowania przyznane przez sąd lub uzyskane w ramach ugody będą traktowane jako należności ze źródeł dodatkowych i potrącone od odszkodowania przyznanego przez VCF.

Sí, usted puede enmendar su reclamo por lesión física personal para añadir una nueva condición o una nueva pérdida económica en cualquier momento, pero antes del 1 de octubre de 2090. Usted puede encontrar las instrucciones completas de Cómo Presentar una Enmienda en la sección de “Formularios y Recursos” en nuestra página web.

Sí, si usted participa en una demanda en conformidad con la JASTA, aún puede presentar un reclamo al VCF. Vea la sección 405(c)(3)(C)(i), de la ley Zadroga, según enmendada (49 U.S.C. § 40101).    Cualquier compensación otorgada por el tribunal en la demanda u obtenida a través de un acuerdo del litigio se tratará como una compensación y se deducirá del cálculo de su indemnización del VCF.

Yes, you can amend your personal injury claim to add a new condition or to claim a new loss at any time prior to October 1, 2090. You can find complete instructions on How to File an Amendment under “Forms and Resources” on our website. In a deceased claim (i.e., claims filed on behalf of a victim who died as a result of his or her 9/11-related eligible condition), you will not be permitted to amend your claim after the VCF finalizes substantive review of the compensation claim (with limited exceptions).

Yes, if you participate in a lawsuit under JASTA, you can still file a VCF claim.  See Section 405(c)(3)(C)(i), Zadroga Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. § 40101 note).  Any compensation awarded by the court in the lawsuit or obtained in a settlement of litigation will be treated as an offset and deducted from your VCF award. 

Dear Friends,

On July 29, 2019, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1327, The Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund ("VCF"). The VCF Permanent Authorization Act extends the VCF’s claim filing deadline from December 18, 2020, to October 1, 2090, and appropriates such funds as may be necessary to pay all approved claims.

On June 11, 2019, the Special Master testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on The Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties with regard to H.R. 1327, legislation to permanently extend authorization for the VCF. View her full testimony.

Yes. In cases involving terminal illness or significant financial hardship, you can request that the VCF expedite the processing of your claim. The VCF considers “significant financial hardship” to include an imminent or pending foreclosure or eviction proceeding, utility cut off, or other similar circumstances, as demonstrated by appropriate documentation.

Dear Friends,

When Congress reauthorized the VCF in 2015, it extended the time for individuals to submit new claims – as well as amendments on existing claims – until December 18, 2020. The Reauthorization Act also directed me, as the Special Master, to periodically reassess the VCF’s policies and procedures to make sure that we prioritize claims for individuals who suffer from the most debilitating physical conditions, and that we do not exceed the $7.375 billion in funds appropriated to the VCF.

私人医生流程将仍可用于所有的索赔--死亡或人身伤害--根据经认证的疾病，受害者之前就被认定有资格获得VCF的赔偿，现在正在寻求增加癌症。 请注意：此个人必须事先已获得至少一项对合资格的疾病的认证，并被视为有资格获得VCF的赔偿，以便通过私人医生流程寻求对癌症的验证。对于那些目前未获得WTC健康项目对任何疾病的治疗认证且声称患有癌症的个人，他们必须参加WTC健康项目以获得对此癌症的认证，尽管他们当然可以继续接受他们的主治医生的治疗。
