一般情况下，我们将根据提交《索赔表》的日期以“先进先出”的顺序审核索赔。这意味着VCF会优先处理那些等待了较长时间的索赔，然后才开始审核较新提交的索赔。只有在所有的必需的信息提交后，索赔才会被优先审核。

VCF继续努力缩短对索赔做出裁决所需的时间，并且正在努力在提交《索赔表》或修改后的一年内做出裁决（假定已提交了处理索赔所需的全部信息）。

下面的索赔审核时间线图表反映了最新的审核索赔的状态。该时间线图的日期仅适用于有序提交的索赔， 也就是说，索赔申请拥有VCF 用以确定索赔人资格和计算赔偿金 所需的必要文件。由于未同所需文件一起提交而处于待用或搁置的索赔需要更长的时间进行审查，并不反映在该时间线图中。

Na ogół wnioski są rozpatrywane w kolejności napływania – na podstawie daty złożenia formularza wniosku. Oznacza to, że wnioski oczekujące na rozpatrzenie dłużej mają pierwszeństwo przed wnioskami nowymi. Wnioski zostają przedłożone do rozpatrzenia w pierwszej kolejności tylko wtedy, kiedy załączono do nich wszystkie wymagane informacje.

As a general rule, claims are reviewed in “first in, first out” order based on the date the Claim Form was submitted. This means the VCF prioritizes claims that have been waiting longer before beginning review of newer submissions. Claims are prioritized for review only after all required information has been submitted.

The VCF continues to work to shorten the timeframe needed to decide a claim and is working towards issuing determinations within one year of submission of the claim form or amendment (assuming all information needed to process the claim has been submitted).

Como regla general, los reclamos se revisan por orden de llegada, siguiendo el orden de la fecha en que se presentó el formulario de reclamo de compensación. Esto significa que el VCF prioriza los reclamos que han estado en espera por más tiempo antes de comenzar a revisar los reclamos más recientes. Los reclamos se priorizan para revisión sólo cuando toda la información requerida ha sido presentada.

Email – myVCF Update – March 29, 2024

Once you file your claim, the first step the VCF takes is to do a preliminary review to confirm that all of the “minimally required” documents have been submitted. In addition to a complete Claim Form, we require the following documents before your claim can move forward for a more substantive review:

I was very proud to step into the role of Special Master in March 2023, particularly as a native New Yorker and someone who was raised to respect and value public service. In the months since, I have been struck by many things that I hadn’t fully anticipated – chief among them the need to inform the public about the VCF and to ensure that every person who might be eligible for a VCF award is aware of the program and has the resources and support they need to register and file a claim.

This report summarizes the VCF’s 12th year of operation, and focuses on the significant changes, challenges, and achievements of 2023. With the appointment of permanent Special Master Allison Turkel in March, the VCF began a new era of leadership, continuing to focus on the needs of the 9/11 community and building the tools to support the program’s longevity. The Fund hit new milestones, awarding $12.8 billion to over 56,600 claimants since re-opening in October 2011. In addition, in 2023 the VCF decided more claims and issued more award dollars than in any previous year.

最好等到获得WTC健康项目的认证再提出索赔。如果您在未先获得认证的情况下提交索赔，那么VCF会将您的索赔置于“待用”状态，并一直保持该状态，直到您提交认证信函后您的索赔才会被审核。

Jeśli zarejestrowali Państwo swój wniosek w odpowiednim terminie, najlepiej jest poczekać ze złożeniem wniosku aż do uzyskania kwalifikacji do objęcia leczeniem z Programu Zdrowia WTC.  W przypadku złożenia wniosku przed uzyskaniem kwalifikacji, VCF ustawi stan wniosku jako „nieaktywny” i wniosek nie zostanie rozpatrzony aż do czasu złożenia pisma potwierdzającego kwalifikację do objęcia leczeniem.

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.

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.
