Register Your World Trade Center Service: Tell Us You Were There

New York state would like to ensure you preserve your right to worker's compensation if you participated in the rescue, recovery, and clean-up of the World Trade Center through September 12, 2002.

File a WTC-12 form (click here to download) with the New York State Workers' Compensation Board by September 11, 2014. This preserves your right to future benefits, should you ever need them.
 
Most people are eligible. You should file a WTC-12 form whether you were injured or not and whether you were employed or volunteered. This includes duty at Ground Zero, Fresh Kills Landfill, on the barges, the piers, and at the morgues.
 
All forms must be notarized and received by the board by September 11, 2014. Please call (855) WTC-2014 with questions. Tell us you were there.
