Members who participated in the rescue, recovery and clean-up operations at the World Trade Center site or certain other locations must file a Notice of Participation with the Police Pension Fund in order to protect their presumptive eligibility for accident disability pension benefits.
Recent PBA-backed legislation has extended the filing deadline through September 11, 2026. Members who have not already filed a Notice of Participation should download and submit the form without delay.
Members who have previously submitted a Notice of Participation should check the Police Pension Fund website to confirm that their Tax ID is listed.
World Trade Center Health Program — Monitoring & Treatment
The federal World Trade Center Health Program provides free medical monitoring and treatment for WTC-related conditions. The recent PBA-backed renewal of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act provides funding for the program through the year 2090.
Visit the WTC Health Program website to enroll for the first time and find more information, including clinic locations.
If you have been previously registered but have not been seen for an exam in over a year, call 1-888-702-0630, or your usual Clinical Center of Excellence (if other than Mount Sinai) to schedule your next visit and update your information.
Victim Compensation Fund
The federal Victim Compensation Fund provides monetary compensation to WTC victims and first responders who were injured or made ill by the attack. The Zadroga Act renewal provided additional funding and allows individuals to file claims through October 1, 2090.
