A Public Service Announcement For Ground Zero Workers

Did you participate in RESCUE,
RECOVERY or CLEANUP after
the World Trade Center collapse?

9/11 Workers and Volunteers!
Register Now to Protect
Your Right to Workers’
Compensation Benefits
Go to WWW.NYCOSH.ORG

If you did paid or unpaid rescue, recovery or cleanup work
in Lower Manhattan during the year after 9/11, you may be
eligible for medical and wage replacement benefits — but
only if you register first with the New York State Workers’
Compensation Board!

If you worked or volunteered:
● anywhere in Manhattan south of Canal or Pike Streets, or
● on the barge operation between Lower Manhattan &
Staten Island, or
● at the Staten Island landfill, or
● at the New York City morgue; AND,
● you are currently sick, psychologically distressed &
haven’t filed a workers’ compensation claim;
● you are not sick, but were exposed;
● you’ve filed and been denied;
● you have filed a successful claim but are concerned that
you might develop a different illness in the future — you
need to REGISTER!
Registering now will preserve your right to file a
workers’ compensation claim for a 9/11-related
disorder — no matter when it develops in the future.
But you must
act soon!
