The Bill
The 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2025 (HR.1410/S. 739). would deal with the impending funding shortfall facing the World Trade Center Health Program and make sure it is fully funded now and in the future.
The Act
Thanks to a coalition of 9/11 responders, survivors, labor unions, advocates and dedicated public officials, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act became law in 2010. It created two programs: the World Trade Center Health Program to provide medical monitoring and treatment for those impacted by the toxins at Ground Zero, the Pentagon and the Shanksville Crash Site, and it reopened the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund to compensate injured responders, survivors and their families. In 2015 Congress renewed the Act, authorizing the Health Program until 2090 and extending the VCF for 5 years. In 2019, with overwhelming bipartisan support, the Compensation Program was fully funded and authorized until 2090. Now that same coalition will have to work to get Congress to pass the “9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act” to fully fund the WTC Health Program before it faces cutbacks for an impending funding shortfall and to ensure all 9/11 responders and survivors can receive medical treatment for their injuries.
