As We Remember 9/11, Zadroga Act Deadline Nears
Of the thousands of transit workers who responded to Ground Zero and spent weeks and months on the pile, many have not registered in order to file a claim with the compensation fund established by Congress under the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act. The fund is for responders and survivors who were injured or made ill from the attacks on the World Trade Center or the rescue and recovery effort. Even those who are enrolled in the WTC health program for medical monitoring or treatment still need to register with the victim fund if they were injured and want to be compensated. You can go to this link to register. The deadline is Oct 3.
