Rupa Bhattacharyya, special master of the federal 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, said in a statement published in the Federal Register that the pool of more than $7 billion “may be insufficient to compensate all claims.”
By the end of last year, the fund had received 32,689 claims, according to the statement. The fund expects 6,614 additional claims.
The fund is seeking public input on how remaining reserves should be allocated, and asking guidance on specific questions — including which cancers and non-cancerous conditions should be reevaluated for compensation.
