In September of 2016, the Victim Bounty Fund issued important guidelines as to what the "registration" deadlines were for the filing of 9/xi compensation claims. Earth Trade Heart victims need to go along these deadlines in mind, as it has an effect on their chances of receiving victim bounty payouts for their 9/11-related cancer or other illness.

VCF Claim Deadlines

In determining if claims are registered in fourth dimension, the VCF does Non go by the engagement when a claimant is diagnosed with a related cancer or disease.

Nearly importantly, the VCF deadline for such claims is two years from the date that any federal, state, or local government entity determined a diagnosed cancer or other status was nine/11-related.

In most cases, people who have been sick or had cancer (even if many years agone), tin can file a successful 9/11 claim considering the person did not take a "governmental entity conclusion" that a cancer or other disease was caused past their Basis Zero area exposure.

Hansen & Rosasco - 9/11 Cancer Claim

How to Determine Your Deadline

Hansen & Rosasco - 9/11 Cancer Claim

The registration borderline for the VCF application is two years from the date that either : (i) the Earth Trade Heart Wellness Plan (WTCHP) "certified" a cancer or other condition, or (2) the appointment that a state worker's bounty lath or a government employer (such every bit the FDNY, NYPD, or NYCERS) found a condition every bit 9/11-related for purposes of awarding a inability pension.

The VCF two-year registration deadline is the earlier of the post-obit two dates: (1) the date of the letter of the alphabet from the WTC Health Plan indicating that the individual's 9/xi-related physical injury or condition has been certified for handling, or (2) the date on which some other government entity determined that the physical injury or condition was 9/11-related.

VCF Deadlines Calculation Example

By way of case, if an individual who was exposed to the nine/11 toxins was diagnosed with skin cancer more than ii years agone and treated with his or her own private physicians and the cancer was never "certified" past the WTCHP (or other governmental entity), then that person may begin treatment or undergo an exam at a WTCHP clinic and have the cancer "certified" equally a 9/xi-related cancer. The claimant would then accept two years from this "certification" engagement to register his or her merits.

Oftentimes, a claimant will have been diagnosed and treated more than two years ago for a blazon of cancer found on the list of cancers that is presumptively covered by the WTCHP and the VCF, only the cancer was never "certified" by the WTCHP equally beingness nine/xi-related.

In this example, the claimant however has ii years from the date that the WTCHP "certifies" the cancer as ix/eleven-related if the other WTCHP requirements are met – such as physical presence in the "Crash Site Area" for the minimum required fourth dimension period, the "latency period" is met, and other requirements of the WTC VCF and Health Plan.

Deadlines for Deceased Individuals

The VCF is stricter with the registration deadlines for deceased claims. In cases where a person is exposed to the toxins at or near Ground Zero (on September eleven, 2001 or during the many months later the attacks) and died more than than ii years ago and did not annals the claim within two years of the date of death, then the "deceased merits" volition likely be denied.

But this deprival is not the end of the merits process — the deceased's family unit (the Estate) may however be able to receive a substantial accolade for the pain and suffering endured past the deceased family member for the flow before he or she died.

In addition, the VCF Special Master may have discretion to excuse a missed two-year registration. Bug involving filing deadlines (and the possible exceptions) for deceased claims (on behalf of family members) are some of the more complex VCF claims and should be discussed with a 9/11 lawyer who understands the interplay between the VCF deadlines and the rights of 9/eleven surviving families (estates).
