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。

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 ¿Los pagos por discapacidad de otras fuentes (tales como Asuntos de Veteranos, NYCERS), etc.) serán deducidos de mi indemnización?

November 10, 2016

Sí, si los pagos están relacionados con su discapacidad por una condición elegible relacionada al 9/11. La ley exige que el VCF deduzca de su indemnización cualquier beneficio por discapacidad que usted esté recibiendo, o tenga derecho a recibir, relacionado con sus condiciones físicas de salud elegibles. Si está recibiendo pagos de discapacidad por condiciones que no son elegibles para el VCF, esos montos no se deducirán de su indemnización.

VCF FAQ

6.4 Are disability payments from other sources (such as Veterans Affairs, NYCERs, etc.) deducted from my award?

November 10, 2016

Yes, if the payments are related to your disability from an eligible 9/11-related condition. The statute requires that the VCF offset from your award any disability benefits you are receiving, or entitled to receive, related to your eligible physical health conditions. If you are receiving disability payments for conditions that are not eligible under the VCF, those amounts will not be deducted from your award.
