Unfortunately, over the years there has been confusing messages put out there about the September 11^th Victim Compensation Fund (“VCF”) and various deadlines that may or may not apply to you.    In the last few months, many 9/11 organizations and VCF law firms have been talking about a deadline that is fast approaching, July 29, 2021.

So what is the July 29^th 2021 Deadline and does it apply to you?
