Wednesday, February 26, 2025: U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and U.S. Representatives Andrew Garbarino (R-NY) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) held a press conference with advocates and survivors to introduce the 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2025.
Despite recent congressional action, the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) continues to face an impending funding shortfall. As a result, by October 2028, the program will be forced to close enrollment to new 9/11 responders and survivors, and existing enrollees will face direct cuts to their care and be denied medical monitoring and treatment.
The 9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2025 would update the program’s outdated funding formula to ensure adequate funding until the program’s expiration in 2090. The bill would also increase funding for data collection on 9/11-related conditions and expand access to mental health care for program members.
