VCF FAQ

1.2 我提交了我的索赔。何时将对我的索赔作出裁决?

December 8, 2020

一般情况下,我们将根据提交的日期以“先进先出”的顺序审核索赔。对于2016年8月1日之后提交的索赔而言,这就是《索赔表》提交的日期。这意味着VCF会优先处理那些等待了较长时间的索赔,然后才开始审核较新提交的索赔。

VCF继续缩短对索赔做出裁决所需的时间,并且正在努力在提交《索赔表》或修改后的一年内做出裁决(假定已提交了处理索赔所需的全部信息)。下面的索赔审核时间线图表反映了最新的审核索赔的状态。

VCF FAQ

1.2 Złożyłem/am wniosek. Kiedy zostanie podjęta decyzja w mojej sprawie?

December 8, 2020

Na ogół wnioski są rozpatrywane w kolejności napływania – na podstawie daty złożenia wniosku o odszkodowanie. Dla wniosków złożonych po 1 sierpnia 2016 roku jest to data złożenia Formularzu Wniosku. Oznacza to, że wnioski oczekujące na rozpatrzenie dłużej mają pierwszeństwo przed wnioskami nowymi.

VCF FAQ

1.2 I submitted my claim. When will a decision be made on my claim?

December 8, 2020

As a general rule, claims are reviewed in “first in, first out” order based on the date the compensation claim was submitted. For claims submitted after August 1, 2016, this is the date the Claim Form was submitted. This means the VCF prioritizes claims that have been waiting longer before beginning review of newer submissions.

VCF FAQ

1.2 Ya presenté mi reclamo. ¿Cuándo se decidirá?

December 8, 2020

Como regla general, los reclamos se revisan por orden de llegada, siguiendo el orden la fecha en que se presentó el reclamo de compensación. Los reclamos que se presentaron después del 1 de agosto de 2016, el orden de llegada será el de la presentación del nuevo formulario. Esto significa que el VCF le da prioridad a los reclamos que han estado en espera por más tiempo antes de comenzar a revisar los reclamos más recientes.

Message from the Special Master on the 19th Anniversary of the September 11th Attacks

September 11, 2020
Dear Friends: This year, as we commemorate the 19th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we do so with even heavier hearts as we see the added struggle of those with 9/11-related health conditions, and the particularly severe impact of COVID-19 in New York. We realize that in the months ahead, we are likely to see claims on behalf of those who have a 9/11-related condition and have suffered or died as a result of COVID-19. I want to take this opportunity to assure the 9/11 community that, as with all claims, we will review each case on its own facts in view of the laws governing the VCF. We have posted to our website a specific FAQ that explains how the VCF will evaluate claims where COVID-19 may have been a factor in an individual’s death, and we will be updating this information as needed.

VCF FAQ

1.8 Si un individuo con una condición elegible relacionada al 11/9 fallece, y el certificado de defunción pone COVID-19 como la causa de muerte, esto afectará la evaluación del VCF como un reclamo de fallecido presentado a nombre de la víctima?

September 9, 2020

La ley que gobierna el VCF requiere que, para ser elegible para compensación, la víctima debe haber sufrido un daño físico o muerte como resultado de los ataques terroristas, o la remoción y limpieza de escombros inmediatamente después de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001. El VCF generalmente evalúa el certificado de defunción para ver la causa de muerte.

VCF FAQ

1.8 若患有与9/11相关的并符合资格的疾病的个人去世,且死亡证明书中列出了新冠肺炎(COVID-19)为死亡原因,这是否会影响VCF对代表受害者提交的非正常死亡索赔的评估?

September 9, 2020

管辖VCF的法律要求:受害人有资格获得赔偿必须是在2001年9月11日的恐怖袭击或在这些袭击之后立即进行的清除废墟工作后遭受人身伤害或死亡。 VCF通常会查看受害者的死亡证明,以查看所列出的死亡原因。

标准的死亡证明书表格(与CDC指南一致)包括三(3)个单独的类别,其中会列出死亡原因:

VCF FAQ

1.8 Jeśli osoba z uznaną chorobą związaną z wydarzeniami 11 września umrze, a jej akt zgonu wyszczególni COVID-19 jako powód śmierci, czy będzie to miało wpływ na rozpatrzenie przez Fundusz VCF wniosku o spowodowanie śmierci?

September 9, 2020

Prawo, które reguluje pracę Funduszu VCF wymaga, że aby być uprawnionym do uzyskania odszkodowania ofiara musiała ulec obrażeniom fizycznym lub śmierci spowodowanej przez ataki terrorystyczne 11 września 2001 roku lub usuwanie gruzu, które nastąpiło w ich następstwie. Fundusz VCF zazwyczaj zwróci uwagę na powód śmierci wyszczególniony w akcie zgonu ofiary. 

Standardowo, formularz aktu zgonu (zgodnie wytycznymi CDC) zawiera trzy (3) osobne kategorie, w których można wymienić przyczyny:

1.8 If an individual with an eligible 9/11-related illness passes away, and the death certificate listes COVID-19 as the cause of death,

September 9, 2020

The law that governs the VCF requires that, in order to be eligible for compensation, the victim must have suffered physical harm or death as a result of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks or the debris removal efforts in the immediate aftermath of those attacks.  The VCF generally looks at the victim’s death certificate to see what is listed as the cause of death.

VCF FAQ

2.8 一旦我注册后,我提交索赔的截止日期是什么?

August 6, 2020

虽然注册截止日期视个人情况而定,但每个人提交索赔的截止日期都相同。您的索赔必须在2090年10月1日之前提交。

一旦您向VCF注册后,只有在获得WTC健康项目对与9/11相关的身体健康状况进行认证后,您才可以提出索赔。从现在到WTC健康项目在2090年结束之间的任何时间都可以提出索赔。VCF鼓励您在获得认证并且已经知道您所遭受的损失的全部范围以后再提交索赔,这样,我们就能够尽快审核您的索赔, 以评估对您的赔偿资格。若您在未先获得认证的情况下提交索赔,VCF就会将您的索赔置于 “待用” 状态,您的索赔将保持该状态,直到您提交认证函之后才进行审核。有关更多详细信息,请参见常见问题解答3.3。

VCF鼓励您在知道所声称的损失的全部范围后立即提出索赔,但不得迟于2090年10月1日提交。

VCF FAQ

2.6 如果我在2021年7月29日之后向VCF注册,会发生什么情况?

August 6, 2020

如果您在2021年7月29日之后向VCF注册,只要您的注册符合适用的注册截止日期,就会被视为及时。 由于注册截止日期是基于WTC健康项目通知您您的身体健康状况与9/11有关时的最新日期,因此许多个人的适用注册截止日期会是2021年7月29日之后。如果您 在2019年7月29日之后代表因与9/11相关的符合资格的疾病而死亡的个人进行注册,只要您在其死亡之日起两年内注册,您的注册就会被认为是及时的。
