Bill overview
This bill, titled the "Never Forget the Heroes: Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act," extends the authorization for the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund through fiscal year 2090. It extends the deadline for filing claims to October 2089 and requires periodic reassessment of the fund’s policies. The bill also addresses situations where claims were reduced due to insufficient funding, ensuring that claimants receive the difference between the originally promised compensation and the reduced amount when sufficient funding becomes available, and removes a cap on noneconomic damages under certain circumstances.
