Compensation for 9/11 Cancer Victims - 9/11 Victims Fund

The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund was established by Congress after the attacks with $7.35 billion to disburse

It is not too late to file a claim. The Victim Compensation Fund Permanent Authorization Act has extended the claim filing deadline from December 18, 2020, to October 1, 2090, and appropriates funds as may be necessary to pay all eligible claims. Different types of cancer have different latencies, the time one is exposed to a cancer causing substance until the cancer is active or diagnosed.

The 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund is NOT Just for First Responders. ANYBODY who suffered one of over 70 types of Cancer or (Surviving Loved Ones) Who Lived, Worked, Attended School, or can verifiably show they were Near Ground Zero is eligible.

For victims of post-9/11 cancer, illnesses and injuries, compensation still may be available through the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Free medical treatment may be available for individuals that suffered from certain conditions and injuries, via the World Trade Center Health Program.

If you or a loved one were diagnosed with cancer or certain aerodigestive disorders any time after 9/11, you may be entitled to substantial cash award.
