The Registration and Claim Filing Deadlines webpage has been updated to reflect the timeliness policy following the end of the two-year registration deadline “grace period.”
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.
Law Firm Payment Instructions posted - follow these instructions if your firm has an agreement with the claimants you represent that VCF payments will be made directly to a law firm bank account.
The VCF has prepared a guide to assist law firms in using the new functionality that became available in the online Claims Management System in August 2015.
