Who can access compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund?

There are only several categories of individuals that can access compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, as only those were exposed to the toxic substances and materials released upon the terrorist attacks and are those who were injured or came to struggle with illnesses.

Only three categories of individuals can seek money from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund

The first category of people who can access compensation through the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund is New York City Fire Department active or retired members who came to the scene to extinguish the fire and were thereby exposed to the harmful concoction of chemicals and materials released by the attacks. Furthermore, World Trade Center general responders can also seek money from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, as they were also toxic exposure victims. Lastly, people in the course of the following while present near the attack area can access compensation through this program:

  • ordinary employment
  • residence
  • education
  • otherwise present

It is worth noting that only individuals with injuries or diseases related to the 9/11 attacks can seek compensation. Even if you were present when the terrorist attacks happened and were exposed to toxic agents, this does not qualify you for compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
