9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2023
This bill amends the World Trade Center Health Program to expand eligibility to include certain Department of Defense and Federal agency workers who responded to the September 11 attacks at the Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It establishes a 500-person enrollment cap for these responders, allows a broader range of licensed health care providers to conduct program evaluations, and creates two new funding mechanisms totaling $2.04 billion for the program through 2033. The bill also clarifies enrollment counts by excluding deceased individuals from program statistics and adjusts funding calculations to ensure continued support for affected responders and survivors. These changes directly affect 9/11 responders who worked at the Pentagon and Shanksville sites and their families participating in the health program.
