VCF FAQ

6.4 Czy renty inwalidzkie z innych źródeł (np. Veterans Affairs, NYCERs itp.) zostaną potrącone z przyznanego odszkodowania?

November 10, 2016

Tak, jeśli renta przysługuje z tytułu niepełnosprawności na skutek uszczerbku na zdrowiu związanego z 11 września. Ustawa wymaga potrącenia przez VCF rent, które Państwo otrzymują lub są uprawnieni do otrzymywania w związku z uszczerbkiem na zdrowiu uprawniającym do otrzymania odszkodowania. Jeśli otrzymywana renta przysługuje z tytułu niepełnosprawności w związku z uszczerbkiem na zdrowiu niedopuszczonym przez VCF, kwoty te nie zostaną potrącone od odszkodowania.

VCF FAQ

6.4 我的赔款中是否会扣除来自其他来源(例如退伍军人事务部、纽约市员工退休制度等)的残疾抚恤金?

November 10, 2016

是的,如果赔款是与 9/11相关且符合条件的疾病导致的残疾有关。该法规要求VCF从您的赔款中扣除您正在领取或有资格领取的、与您符合资格的身体健康状况相关的任何残疾抚恤金。如果您因疾病正领取残疾抚恤金,而根据VCF这些疾病是不符合条件的,那么这些金额不会从您的赔款中扣除。
