VCF FAQ

3.3 I scheduled my appointment with the WTC Health Program but they told me it may take several months to be seen and to then receive a certification letter.

November 14, 2017

It is best to wait to file your claim until you have been certified by the WTC Health Program. If you submit your claim without first being certified, the VCF will place your claim in Inactive status and it will remain in that status and will not be reviewed until you submit your certification letter.

VCF FAQ

3.3 ¿Yo hice mi cita con el Programa de Salud del WTC, pero me dijeron que podrían pasar varios meses para ser atendido y luego recibir la carta de certificación. ¿Puedo presentar mi reclamación aún cuando no he obtenido la certificación?

November 14, 2017

Es preferible esperar para presentar su reclamación hasta que haya obtenido la certificación del Programa de Salud del WTC, siempre y cuando usted haya registrado su reclamación oportunamente. Si usted presenta su reclamación sin haber obtenido primero la certificación, el VCF pondrá su reclamación en estado inactivo y permanecerá en dicho estatus y no la revisaremos hasta que usted nos provea con su carta de certificación.
