Primary: The September 11th Victim
Compensation Fund of 2001 provides
compensation to any individual (or
beneficiary of a deceased individual)
who was physically injured or killed as
a result of the terrorist-related aircraft
crashes of September 11, 2001. On
December 18, 2015, President Obama
signed into law a bill reauthorizing the
James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Compensation Act of 2010. This
includes the reauthorization of the
September 11th Victim Compensation
Fund (‘‘VCF’’) for five years from the
date the legislation was signed and
includes other important changes to the
VCF’s policies and procedures for
evaluating claims and calculating each
claimant’s loss and the documents
required to submit claims, including
claim forms and accompanying
materials.
The information collected from the
VCF Claim Form will be used to
determine whether claimants will be
eligible for compensation from the
Fund, and if so, the amount of
compensation they will be awarded.
The Form consists primarily of two
main sections: Eligibility and
Compensation.
The Eligibility section seeks the
information required by the Zadroga Act
to determine whether a claimant is
eligible for the Fund, including
information related to: Participation in
lawsuits related to September 11, 2001;
presence at a 9/11 crash site between
September 11, 2001 and May 30, 2002;
and physical harm suffered as a result
of the air crashes and/or debris removal.
The Compensation section seeks the
information required by the Zadroga Act
to determine the amount of
compensation for which the claimant is
eligible. Specifically, the section seeks
information regarding the out-of-pocket
losses (including medical expenses)
incurred by the claimant that are
attributable to the 9/11 air crashes or
debris removal; the claimant’s loss of
earnings or replacement services that
are attributable to the 9/11 air crashes or
debris removal; and any collateral
source payments (such as insurance
payments) that the claimant received as
a result of the terrorist-related aircraft
crashes of September 11, 2001 or debris
removal efforts.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that there are
33,000 total potential claimants who
may respond to this form. Of those, the
VCF has already received forms from
22,836 respondents who submitted
claims using the former version of the
claim form. The estimated total number
of respondents for this form is therefore
10,164 over the next five (5) years,
through December 18, 2020. It is
estimated that respondents will
complete the paper form in an average
of 2 hours and the electronic form in an
average of 1.5 hours.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: There are an estimated 3,049
