VCF FAQ

1.2 我提出了我的索赔。何时将对我的索赔作出裁决?

April 4, 2024

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。

VCF FAQ

1.2 Złożyłem/am wniosek. Kiedy zostanie podjęta decyzja w mojej sprawie?

April 4, 2024

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.

VCF FAQ

1.2 I filed my claim. When will a decision be made on my claim?

April 4, 2024

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).

VCF FAQ

1.2 Ya presenté mi reclamo. ¿Cuándo se decidirá?

April 4, 2024

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.

VCF FAQ

2.4 如果我现在没生病,还能注册吗? (添加日期:2021年7月30日)

July 30, 2021

能。您可以随时在网上或拨打我们的求助热线1-855-885-1555向VCF注册。通过注册,您保留了在未来提出索赔的权利。虽然注册并不意味着您有义务在将来提出索赔,但您如果真的提出索赔,您必须已在适用的注册截止日期前就向VCF注册了,才有资格获得赔偿。出于这个原因,我们鼓励大家现在就注册,即使您现在没有生病。这样,若您将来生病了,您就不必担心注册的问题。

VCF FAQ

1.12 我认为产品制造商或医生促成、导致或加剧了我的与9/11有关的病情(或促成或导致已故受害者的死亡)。我可以起诉该制造商或医生并仍然能参与VCF吗?

July 30, 2021

不可以。针对产品制造商的产品责任的诉讼,或针对医生的医疗事故的诉讼,是基于这样的法律理论:即该产品或医生导致、促成或加剧了与 9/11 相关的病情。这些类型的诉讼属于法律规定的豁免所适用的诉讼条款范围,而VCF是根据该法规运作的。这意味着:为了有资格获得赔偿,当您提交您的 VCF 索赔时,必须放弃参与此类诉讼的权利,并且必须满足 VCF的《 政策与程序》第 1.3 节 规定的和解和撤诉截止日期。

请注意,因为VCF 是诉讼替代项目,所以特别不鼓励任何解决诉讼的行动。如果您在适用期限之后,在豁免权适用的诉讼案中达成和解,即使您在您提起或和解诉讼时没有被诊断出或证明患有涵盖的病情,您将没有资格获得 VCF 赔偿。虽然 VCF 可以在适当的情况下对未及时撤诉的案件进行例外处理。但根据其法律规定,它不能对未及时和解的案件进行例外处理。

VCF FAQ

1.12 ¿Si pienso que el producto manufacturado o el doctor contribuyó, causó, o empeoró mi condición relacionada al 11/9, (o contribuyó o causó la muerte de una víctima fallecida). Puedo demandar al manufacturero o al doctor y como quiera participar en e

July 30, 2021

No. Una demanda contra el producto manufacturado por responsabilidad del producto, o en contra del doctor por impericia médica, está basado en la teoría legal de que ese producto o ese doctor contribuyó, causó, o empeoró mi condición relacionada al 9/11.Este tipo de demandas cae bajo los términos del relevo de demandas del estatuto del cual el VCF opera.

2.4 Y si no estoy enfermo, ¿cómo quiera me tengo que registrar para el 21 de julio de 2021? (Añadido: 30 de julio de 2021)

July 30, 2021

Sí. Usted se puede registrar con el VCF en cualquier momento – ya sea en línea o llamando a la Línea de Ayuda al 1-855-885-1555. Al registrarse, usted preserva el derecho de presentar un reclamo en el futuro.

VCF FAQ

2.4 What if I’m not sick, can I still register? (Added: July 30, 2021)

July 30, 2021

Yes. You can register with the VCF at any time – either online, or by calling our Helpline at 1-855-885-1555.  By registering, you preserve your right to file a claim in the future. Although registration does not obligate you to file a claim in the future, if you do file a claim, you must have registered with the VCF by your applicable Registration Deadline in order to be eligible for compensation.  For this reason, we encourage everyone to register now even if you are not sick.

VCF FAQ

1.12 I think that a product manufacturer or a doctor contributed to, caused, or exacerbated my 9/11-related condition (or contributed to or caused the death of a deceased victim). Can I sue the manufacturer or the doctor and still participate in the VCF?

July 30, 2021

No.  A lawsuit against a product manufacturer for product liability, or against a doctor for medical malpractice, is based on the legal theory that it was the product or the doctor that caused, contributed to, or exacerbated the 9/11-related condition.  These types of lawsuits fall within the terms of the lawsuit waiver set out in the statute under which the VCF operates.  This means that in order to be eligible for compensation, when you file your VCF claim, you must waive your right to participate in these types of lawsuits and must meet the settlement and dismissal deadlines set forth in

VCF FAQ

2.7 一旦我注册后,我提交索赔的截止日期是什么? (更新日期:2021年7月30日)

July 30, 2021

虽然注册截止日期因索赔类型及个人情况而不同,但每个人提交索赔的截止日期都相同。您的索赔必须在2090年10月1日之前提交。

一旦您向VCF注册后,只有在获得世贸中心健康项目对与9/11相关的身体健康状况进行认证后,您才可以提出索赔。从现在到WTC健康项目在2090年结束之间的任何时间都可以提出索赔。如果您在没有得到认证的情况下提交索赔,VCF就会将您的索赔置于 “待用” 状态,您的索赔将保持该状态,直到您提交认证函之后才进行审核。有关更多详细信息,请参见常见问题解答3.3。

VCF鼓励您在获得认证并且已经知道您所遭受的损失的全部范围以后再提交索赔,这样,我们就能够尽快审核您的索赔, 以评估对您的赔偿资格。
