As the VCF has completed its 13th year of operations, the mission remains straightforward - to serve those who continue to be affected by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. First, and foremost, is our responsibility to review claims as quickly and fairly as possible. I am proud to report that in 2024, the VCF notified claimants of over 11,500 award determinations, with more than $1.9 billion awarded. This level of accomplishment is made possible by the tireless dedication of the entire VCF team.
