3.5 What if I was diagnosed with Uterine Cancer in the past, but the cancer has not yet been certified by the WTC Health Program? Am I eligible for compensation from the VCF?

Yes, but to receive compensation from the VCF, you must first have the condition certified by the WTC Health Program.  This is required even if you do not need treatment for the cancer at this time.  To begin the certification process with the WTC Health Program, you can find more information online at https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/uterineCancer_20230118.html or by calling 1-888-982-4748.

Once your Uterine Cancer is certified by the WTC Health Program, you should file your claim, or amend your existing claim, to add the cancer as an eligible condition.  The VCF website has detailed instructions on how to file a new claim or amend (See FAQ 5.1) a previously-filed claim.  The VCF will review your claim and notify you of the outcome of our review.
