RECA Extension Act of 2024
The RECA Extension Act of 2024 extends the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) program by two years, setting a new termination date for the compensation fund at two years after the bill's enactment. This extension allows individuals who developed specific illnesses from radiation exposure during nuclear weapons testing or uranium mining to continue filing claims and receiving payments. The bill updates RECA's termination date and revises references to the current extension act in the law. It directly affects eligible claimants, ensuring they have an additional two years to seek compensation under the program.
