Trump Administration fires 16 9/11 Fund workers

Wasn't it like 25 years ago when some people did something ?

How long does it take to get compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund?​


Because of some holdups with VCF awards in the past, the fund has made efforts in recent years to streamline its processes for claims.

Claims are reviewed on a “first-in, first-out” basis, i.e., compensation decisions are made according to the date the claim was submitted. So, older claims are generally prioritized over newer claims.

While this may seem like common sense, the statement from the VCF that it is targeting a maximum of a one-year turnaround from the date of claim submission should be seen as a move in the right direction.

Unfortunately, this target is not always met. Correctly submitted claims can currently take 17 to 20 months, which exceeds the target by some distance — and if documentation is incomplete, the process can take even longer.
