WTC Program Denies Anti-GBM Coverage
The WTC Health Program denied Petition 026 to add Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane (Anti-GBM) glomerulonephritis to the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions on March 19, 2026. The Science Team found Category V (inadequate evidence) because it identified no peer‑reviewed, published epidemiologic studies of Anti-GBM among 9/11‑exposed populations. As a result, people with this disease will not receive new WTC Health Program benefits or coverage changes at this time, and there are no immediate money or timing changes.
