Report: Slow payouts from the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund to first responders
WOODBURY – A new report reveals that payouts to people with illnesses related to the Sept. 11 attacks are slow.
The administrator in charge of the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund says in two years the fund has decided on compensation for only 112 first responders. That means less than 1 percent of the $2.78 billion appropriated by Congress has been awarded.
