VCF 2025 Annual Report

This 2025 Annual Report summarizes the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund’s (VCF or Fund) activities and accomplishments throughout its 14th year. This report details the Fund’s ongoing commitments to reaching all those who may be eligible for compensation, to improving the claimant experience, and to maintaining a focus on being trauma-informed. One of the more significant developments noted in the report is the tremendous increase in the number of new claims received by the VCF each month, increasing from an average of 700 per month in 2024, to 900 per month in 2025; it is clear that outreach efforts are making an impact. The VCF awarded nearly $2 billion to claimants in 2025 and has awarded more than $16.8 billion to over 71,000 claimants since re-opening in October of 2011.
