What Are the Differences Between the 9/11 Benefit Programs?
When you seek benefits and compensation from the two different 9/11 benefit programs, it is important to understand the differences between the two programs. The World Trade Center Health Program (WTC Health Program) provides free medical monitoring and a lifetime of healthcare for 9/11-related illnesses and cancers. It is not a financial compensation program. In comparison, the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) is a compensation program — it provides for payment of compensation for many breathing and digestive illnesses, plus over 70 different types of cancers.
To obtain compensation from the VCF, your illness must be “certified” by the WTC Health Program as eligible for treatment — that the cancer or other illness was in fact linked to exposure to the 9/11 toxins that were in the air and water until the end of 2001 all the way through the middle of 2002. While you must take this step, obtaining WTC Health Program certification does not guarantee that you will receive VCF compensation.
YOU GAVE ALL AND YOU DESERVE HELP NOW
After 9/11 many first responders including police officers and firefighters rushed to the scene to rescue victims, put out fires, and protect the citizens of New York. Now, those first responders suffer from a variety of chronic and terminal illnesses, such as stage four cancer.
In the days following the attacks, construction workers, EMTs, truck drivers, and volunteers removed debris from the wreckage, cleaned up the streets, transported toxic waste, and cleaned up the city. They too now suffer from life-threatening cancers and chronic disabling breathing conditions.
On September 11, 2001, and in the months following, students, residents, and workers in Lower Manhattan kept the economy afloat. They went back to work, studied, and lived in the toxic soup area below Canal Street in Lower Manhattan. They helped New York get back on its feet in more ways than they realize. They’re heroes, too. Now, they also suffer from a wide range of chronic disabling breathing conditions, long-term illnesses, and cancers.

“A couple guys in my union referred me to them and I’m so happy they did. They took care of me and all my paper work. Got my witness done. Filled my health program app so now I can get free health care. Got me my award settlement. All while being incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind.” -Frank C.
