The victims compensation fund for the World Trade Center of victims/survivors offers payouts to those who have been effected. Congress has voted to lower payout amounts over the years and add additional restrictions. They had to be humiliated into passing a bill to provide financial benefits…
After 911 the government was handing out millions of dollars to the families of those who passed away. There are many people struggling with PTSD and health issues for 24+ years and the maximum payout was $90,000 regardless how many certified illnesses you had. For those who had cancer the amount is higher, but there is no specific compensation for those who have PTSD. Which totally hinders your life.
I can’t help but think about when Rand Paul’s neighbor attacked him and he went to court and got a sum of $500,000 or greater for some broken ribs. Survivors of 911 have more injuries, emotional and physical than a few broken ribs. We should receive equal compensation as if it had gone to a court decision.
The victims compensation fund must have an increase pro rata meaning those people who have already received a settlement get a settlement adjustment and those suffering with PTSD get an extra benefit. Cash benefit.
There’s more money spent on the World Trade Center Health Program on salaries than healthcare provided when the World Trade Center Health Program first began it covered out of their fund healthcare issues. Now they make you go through your regular insurance company and Any amount not paid by insurance can be submitted to the World Trade Center Health Program. If you’ve paid out-of-pocket because you were forced to, they will not compensate to you…
The victims compensation fund and World Trade Center Health Program need a revision not by Congress by appointee that understands the suffering of those who have gone through the tragic events of 911.
