会的，只要您满足 VCF对 报销这些费用的要求。 如果您在WTC健康项目对该疾病治疗进行认证的日期之前自付了与子宫癌相关的费用，您就可以向 VCF 申请报销。VCF 对申请医疗费用报销有具体要求。 有关详细信息，请参阅常见问题解答 6.5。

是的，但要从 VCF 获得赔偿，您的疾病必须先获得 WTC 健康项目的认证。 即使您此时不需要治疗该癌症，这也是必需的。 为开始WTC健康项目的认证流程，您可以在https://www.cdc.gov/wtc/uterineCancer_20230118.html网址 或致电 1-888-982-4748找到更多信息。

一旦您的子宫癌获得了WTC健康项目的认证，您应该提交索赔或修改您现有的索赔，以将该癌症添加为合资格的疾病。 VCF网站有关于如何提交新的索赔或修改（请参见常见问题解答 5.1）先前提交的索赔的详细说明。 VCF 将审核您的索赔并通知您我们的审核结果。

可以。 自 2023 年 1 月 18 日起，所有的子宫癌，包括子宫内膜癌，都已添加到 WTC 相关的健康状况清单中，因此，只要满足所有其他资格要求，就有资格获得 VCF 的赔偿。

如果您的索赔之前因您没有合资格的疾病而被拒绝，并且您的子宫癌或子宫内膜癌已获得 WTC 健康项目的认证，您就可以修改您的索赔。 VCF 将审核该新信息并通知您我们的审核结果。

如果您已经因其他合资格的疾病而获得了赔偿，并且您现在已获得对任何类型的子宫癌或子宫内膜癌的认证，您就可以修改您的索赔以寻求与此癌症相关的额外赔偿。

有关如何修改您的索赔的详细信息，请参阅常见问题解答第 5 节。

VCF Leadership Announcement - March 10, 2023

It has been a true honor to serve as interim Special Master for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (“VCF”).  This is an important mission and an incredible team that works hard every day to serve those who are suffering illnesses stemming from the terrorist attacks perpetrated over 20 years ago.  It has been my goal to ensure continuity during the search and hiring of a permanent Special Master so that the good work of this team continued without delay, and I hope I have met that goal.

Email - VCF Releases Eleventh Annual Report - February 6, 2023

The VCF released its eleventh Annual Report, which details new initiatives underway to sustain the VCF as a permanent program through 2090. 2022 brought with it measurable progress, continued challenges, and notable transitions, the most significant being the departure of Special Master Rupa Bhattacharyya in April 2022. Despite this, the VCF continued to see another successful year in service to the 9/11 community, and the VCF ended 2022 having awarded a cumulative total of nearly $10.9 billion to over 49,000 individuals.

The VCF completed its 11th year of operation in 2022, a year that brought with it measurable progress, continued challenges, and notable transitions – the most significant of which was the departure of Special Master Rupa Bhattacharyya in April 2022, after nearly six years of dedicated and extraordinary service at the VCF, and 27 years with the Department of Justice. Rupa’s far-reaching contributions will continue to benefit the 9/11 community for years to come, and she has my deepest gratitude for her service to this community.
