The Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund application deadline is Oct. 3
If you were injured by the 9/11 attack or its aftermath or made sick by exposure to toxins at Ground Zero, the federal government has billions set aside to help. But time is running out.
It took years of effort to create the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund — and now Thursday is the deadline to register.
It is as simple as logging on to vcf.gov to start the process. (Unlike many other federal websites, you can do this despite the government shutdown.) Signing up is easy — and lets you retain the option to withdraw a claim at a later date. But if you miss today’s cutoff, you’re out of luck.
Congress provided $ 2.8 billion for assistance. If you are among those in need of help, step forward.
