Greenfield urges 9/11 survivors to register for funds
Filing deadline is Oct. 3
Councilman David Greenfield is warning that the deadline to register for the Victim Compensation Fund for 9/11 survivors and first responders is rapidly approaching.
The last day to register for financial assistance is Oct. 3, according to Greenfield (D-Borough Park-Midwood-parts of Bensonhurst), who urged all 9/11 first responders and survivors, including local Hatzolah and Shomrim volunteer members, to register.
The fund, which is part of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, is open to injured and ill 9/11 first-responders and survivors from the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Shanksville crash sites and to surviving family members of those who died due to the attacks.
