9/11 Responder and Survivor Health Funding Correction Act of 2024
This bill corrects funding and eligibility rules for the World Trade Center Health Program, directly affecting 9/11 responders and survivors seeking medical care. It allows licensed mental health providers (not just physicians) to certify mental health conditions for program eligibility, requiring the program administrator to define these provider categories within 180 days. The bill also clarifies that deceased individuals should not be counted in enrollment statistics for funding calculations and adds $2.97 billion in funding for fiscal year 2024, with adjusted annual funding formulas extending through 2090. These changes aim to streamline access to care and stabilize long-term program financing for affected individuals.
