Public Meeting Held
On Zadroga Health Compensation Fund
.
.
A public hearing, sponsored by the
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), was held
Thursday in New York City concerning
the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and
Compensation Act of 2010 (Pub. L 111-347).
The purpose of the government sponsored
meeting was to solicite comments on how
to implement the Federal benefit program
that was signed into law at the end of
last year by President Obama.
.
Victims, their families and representatives
were among the presenters at the day-long
hearing. A major area of concern at the
hearing was whether the program will cover
cancer claims and claims for anxiety based
diseases that resulted from the World Trade
Center attack on September 11, 2001.
The toxic cloud of dust and fumes that
emanated from the site is of serious concern
to medical professionals because of the known
pulmonary irritants and carcinogens,
including asbestos, that it contained and
transported.
.
The law provides for additional benefits
to those who worked near the site during the
months following the disaster. Not only are
first responders permitted to file for
benefits, but the program provides coverage
to those who were utility workers, who were
involved in the restoration of services, ie.
telephone and power, and it also includes
those who were involved in the clean-up of
the area and local residents.
.
Comments will accepted until 5:00pm EDT on
April 29, 2011 and an implementation plan
will be formalized by July, 2011.
