You may have been told in the past that you could not file a victim’s compensation fund claim for 9\/11 cancer because you missed the deadline. \u00a0Due to recent changes to VCF eligibility requirements, that may no longer be the case.<\/p>\n
Until last week there was a strict two year deadline to register a 9\/11 cancer claim<\/a> with the VCF. \u00a0The two years began to run from the date of diagnosis, which was a pathology report or other diagnostic test. \u00a0Hundreds, if not thousands of 9\/11 cancer survivors (as well as family members of people who died from a 9\/11 cancer or illness) missed the 2 year deadline because they simply didn\u2019t realize that there was a link between their 9\/11 cancer and the toxic dust in Lower Manhattan. \u00a0They certainly had no idea that they were entitled to compensation.<\/p>\n In brief, when President Obama signed the Ustawa Zadrogi<\/a> into law on January 2, 2011, the law reactivated the VCF, reopening it in 2011. At that point, it was authorized to operate until October 2016. However, many victim advocates emphasized the importance of extending the VCF beyond the October 2016. The reauthorization of the Zadroga Act in 2015 came with the reauthorization of the VCF, as well. At that point, the legislation extended the VCF for an additional five years. With the reauthorization, individuals now are eligible to submit claims until the date of 18 grudnia 2020 r<\/strong>. The reauthorization also resulted in changes to the way claims will be evaluated and losses will be calculated.<\/p>\n The new regulation allows people diagnosed with virtually any 9\/11 cancer to register VCF claims within 2 years of the date of that they were told by the government that their rzadki rak<\/a> might be related to WTC exposure. \u00a0 This rule applies not only to WTC responders, but also to residents, office workers and students; basically anyone who spent enough time in Manhattan below Canal Street between September 11, 2001 and May 30, 2002.<\/p>\n Zgodnie z obowi\u0105zuj\u0105cym prawem termin sk\u0142adania reklamacji wynosi\u00a018 grudnia 2020 r<\/strong>. Any claims filed after that date will not be considered. That includes both new and refiled claims, so if the SM dismisses your claim due to a lack of evidence, you acquire that new evidence, and refile the claim after the deadline, the SM will not even look at it.<\/p>\n Dziewi\u0119tna\u015bcie lat po 11 wrze\u015bnia to pod wieloma wzgl\u0119dami d\u0142ugi czas, ale je\u015bli chodzi o Fundusz Odszkodowa\u0144 WTC, wcale nie jest to bardzo d\u0142ugi okres, bior\u0105c pod uwag\u0119 charakter tych chor\u00f3b.
