The 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund calculates your final pay based on a formula: Non-economic loss + Economic loss - Collateral offsets.

  • Collateral offsets refer to any other compensation you've received for your injury.

For non-cancer 9/11 victims, the maximum non-economic loss award is $90,000. However, the total compensation can vary depending on the severity of your illness.
