There are two Informational Forums on the "September 11th, Victim Compensation Fund" that will be held on August 21st. One with Special Master Sheila Birnbaum and Rep. Michael Grimm on Staten Island and the other a free clinic presented by the New York City Bar Justice Center in Manhattan. With the October 3rd deadline approaching for many injured and ill 9/11 Responders and Survivors to register with the VCF, these events are a critical resource for those who need more information. Below are the details on both events. SEPTEMBER 11TH VICTIM COMPENSATION FUND INFORMATION FORUM Join September 11th Victim Compensation Fund ("VCF") Special Master Sheila Birnbaum and Rep. Michael Grimm to learn about the status of the VCF and a discussion about the claim filing process. The Forum focuses on first responders, firefighters, police officers, and those who worked, lived, and volunteered in the exposure zone (or a personal representative of a deceased individual) who suffered physical harm or were killed as a result of the terrorist-related aircraft crashes of September 11, 2001 or the debris removal efforts that took place in the immediate aftermath of those crashes. DATE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2013 Doors open at 5:00 pm Forum will be from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm PLACE: Jewish Community Center 1466 Manor Road Staten Island, NY 10314 No RSVP is required. Visit vcf.gov for information about the claims process before the event. New York City Bar Justice Center Forum The New York City Bar Justice Center is offering free legal clinics for individuals needing assistance in filing claims under the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). Clinics will be facilitated by volunteer lawyers who will provide free counsel and advice to people who would like to file a claim under the VCF without an attorney. Those attending will be able to meet with an attorney who will provide information on the eligibility process and will assist in filling out the application form.
