Longer window to file World Trade Center claims

The law lets World Trade Center rescue, recovery, and cleanup workers file a sworn statement with the Workers’ Compensation Board until September 11, 2030. The statement must list when and where you worked and name your employer, and the Board sends a copy to the employer or insurer. Filing this statement does not, by itself, file a claim. If your disablement happened between September 11, 2021 and September 11, 2025, and you file a claim by September 11, 2030, your claim is not barred by sections 18 or 28. The Board must reconsider any such claim it previously disallowed for those reasons.

More time for World Trade Center pension protections

Public employees and eligible beneficiaries who worked on World Trade Center rescue, recovery, or cleanup have until September 11, 2030 to file a sworn statement with their retirement system. You can file on the system’s form or a secure online portal, and you must list your work dates and locations. You must have passed an entry physical for public service or authorize release of your medical records, and there must be no evidence of the qualifying condition before September 11, 2001. Retirement systems must keep copies of all statements filed by that date, even those once rejected as late. These rules are not limited by Section 25 of the Retirement and Social Security Law.
