The resources below outline the policies and procedures of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (“VCF”). The pages include information on eligibility criteria, the methodology used to calculate economic and non-economic loss, payment procedures, appeals and hearings, claims for deceased individuals, and information for claimants who are represented by an attorney for their claim.
These resources are intended to be used as a reference by individuals who are filing a claim, or by those who are interested in how the VCF operates.
For more information about the history, regulations, and the laws governing the VCF, please see About the Fund. All the forms, resources, and documents referenced in these sections, are also individually posted under Forms and Resources.
Note: The laws governing the VCF are collectively referred to as the “VCF Act” in these resources.
