September 11th Victim Compensation Fund

The Registration Deadline is July 29. Registration is not the same as filing a claim.  Registration preserves the right to file your claim in the future, waives no legal rights, and does not obligate you to file a claim.

Register online here or over the phone by calling the VCF Helpline at 1-855-885-1555. Instructions also available for download.

The Registration Deadline is not the same for everyone.  It varies according to individual circumstances:
              A. If you were certified by the WTC Health Program for a 9/11-related physical health condition before July 29, 2019, you are required to register your claim with the VCF by July 29, 2021. 

              B. If you have not been certified by the World Trade Center (“WTC”) Health Program for a 9/11-related physical health condition, or if any condition is certified after July 29, 2019, you may register by July 29, 2021, but you are not required to do so.  You will be required to register within two years of the latest date on which the WTC Health Program certifies your physical health condition as 9/11-related. 

              C. If you are registering to file a claim for an individual who you believe died of a 9/11-related physical health condition before July 29, 2019, you are required to register with the VCF by July 29, 2021.

              D. If you are registering to file a claim for an individual who you believe died of a 9/11-related physical health condition after July 29, 2019, you are required to register with the VCF within two years of the date of death.
