RECA Extension Act of 2024

The RECA Extension Act of 2024 extends the deadline for individuals exposed to radiation from nuclear testing or uranium mining to file claims for compensation under the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). It directly affects people who developed specific cancers or diseases due to radiation exposure, including downwinders, uranium workers, and test site participants. The bill changes the termination date of the RECA Fund from two years after the 2022 extension to two years after the 2024 Act's enactment, and updates references to the prior extension in the law. This provides continued eligibility for compensation claims beyond the previous expiration date.
