APNEW YORK — The newly reopened September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of $2.8 billion will start taking applications Monday.
The fund is intended to help people who became ill after working at Ground Zero and others whose sicknesses can be tied to the site. Residents, workers and others may apply, including those whose claims to the first fund were denied.
“Everybody who is eligible should apply for this,” said John Feal, a leading advocate for injured first responders.
