The VCF collaborated with 9/11 Health Watch on their series of short videos you can watch to learn all about the VCF, including how to register and file a claim, registration deadlines, and presence documentation.
The VCF remains operational at this time, although we continue to experience delays in several areas of claims processing. This update includes important information regarding outgoing correspondence and deadlines for appealing the decision on your claim.
There are two deadlines in the VCF’s claim filing process: a Claim Filing Deadline and a Registration Deadline. It is important to distinguish between the two and be aware of which applies to your individual circumstances.
