Registration Deadline Nears for September 11th Victim Compensation Fund

October 3, 2013, is an important day for Laborers who performed recovery or clean-up work following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

If you have become sick or injured due to your work at these sites, October 3rd is the deadline to register with the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Doing so preserves the right to file a compensation claim in the future.

Exposures to the toxic dust and fumes that permeated these cleanups can lead to serious illnesses. Some illnesses – cancer, for example – may take years to develop.

Even if you are not now sick, if you worked at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or the Shanksville (PA) crash – or the Staten Island landfill, the barge operation between Manhattan and Staten Island or the New York City morgue – you should register.

Registration is easy and requires answering only a few questions. Click here to register or go to the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund website to find out what kind of documentation is needed.
