Abstract: The September 11th Victim
Compensation Fund (VCF) provides
compensation to any individual (or a
personal representative of a deceased
individual) who suffered physical harm
or was killed as a result of the terroristrelated aircraft crashes of September 11,
2001, or the debris removal efforts that
took place in the immediate aftermath of
those crashes. Eligibility and
Compensation information are collected
through the claim form based on the
requirements of the VCF’s authorizing
statutes. The original September 11th
Victim Compensation Fund operated
from 2001–2004. The James Zadroga 9/
11 Health and Compensation Act of
2010 (Zadroga Act) was signed in 2011.
Title II of the Zadroga Act reactivated
the VCF, which opened in October 2011
and was initially authorized to operate
for five years. In December 2015, the
Zadroga Act was reauthorized for five
years, until December 18, 2020. The
signing of the ‘‘Never Forget the Heroes,
James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer, and Luis
Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the
September 11th Victim Compensation
Fund Act’’ in July 2019, fully funded
the VCF to pay all eligible claims and
extended the claim filing deadline to
October 1, 2090. The VCF will use the
information collected through the
Eligibility and Compensation Form to
determine a claimant’s eligibility for an
award, and if so, the amount of
compensation the claimant will be
awarded. 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 pain and
suffering, loss of earnings and/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.
