The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund was established by Congress after the attacks with $7.35 billion to disburse
Nearly 3,000 souls perished as a result of the 9/11 attacks – 189 at the Pentagon, 44 in the Pennsylvania plane crash, and the vast majority, 2763, in or near the World Trade Center. Many more have become ill from exposure to the toxic dust from the collapse of the Twin Towers. Today, responders and survivors who struggle with a disease or injury can obtain money from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund if they decide to file a claim. The average payout for 9/11 victims is $250,000, but the sum of money can be greater depending on the severity of their injuries.
The amount a victim or family of a deceased victim receives is based on the formula "economic loss + non-economic loss – collateral offset = compensation payout". 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund average compensation for victims payouts of close to $1.5 billion were awarded to nearly 10,000 eligible claimants in 2021. This includes first responders, cleanup workers and volunteers, office workers, students, residents, and others who were injured. Compound awards in cases of multiple and/or severe illnesses, while rarely made, can be substantial – up to $325,000.
