Can You Recover Lost Pension Benefits in a 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) Claim?
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF) was created to provide a cash award to first responders and anyone who lived, worked, or went to school in lower Manhattan who since got sick with cancer or other 9/11-linked conditions. In addition to awards for pain and suffering, if a 9/11 claimant is not able to work due to a 9/11-related cancer or other condition, the VCF will make an award not only for lost wages but also all employer-provided benefits including lost or reduced pension benefits. If you or a loved one suffered from a 9/11-related condition that impacted the ability to work and contributions to a pension, you may be eligible to recover lost pension benefits from the VCF.
