WTC HEALTH INFO




WTC Disability Law Filing Deadline is September 11, 2010!

The World Trade Center Disability Law creates a presumptive eligibility for accident disability retirement for certain qualifying conditions if such disability occurred as a result of participation in the World Trade Center Rescue, Recovery, or Clean-up operations from September 11, 2001 – September 12, 2002. All active members or those members who vested or retired after 9/11/01 are eligible to apply for benefi ts or reclassifi cation of benefi ts under the law. To preserve the right to the WTC presumption, a member (active or eligible retirees) MUST FILE a “Notice of Participation” with the Police Pension Fund. The Notice is not an application for disability retirement benefi ts; rather it is a necessary prerequisite for eligibility under the law. Chapter 489 of the Laws of 2008 extends the deadline to fi le a “Notice of Participation” to September 11, 2010. This form can be downloaded from the Police Pension Fund web site at
www.nyc.gov/nycppf
or can be obtained by calling (212) 693-5100.
