WTC Workers' Comp, Disability Deadlines Extended
New York State has extended two important deadlines for workers who have 9/11-related health problems or who may develop them in the future.
Workers' Compensation Deadline: September 11, 2010
WTC rescue, recovery and clean up workers and volunteers have until September 11, 2010 to register with the New York State
Workers' Compensation Board. Registering will preserve their right to file for 9/11-related compensation in the future even if they are not sick now.
Disability Filing Deadline: September 11, 2010
Eligible city and state employees have until September 11, 2010 to file a WTC-related Notice of Participation with their retirement system. The
WTC Disability Law provides a disability retirement benefit to eligible city and state employees who become disabled from participating in the WTC rescue, recovery and clean-up operations between September 11, 2001, and September 12, 2002.
