Were any other benefits provided under the WTC Disability Law?
Yes. A NYCERS Member, Vested Member, or Retiree (retired after 9/11/01) who meets the prequalifying criteria and subsequently dies from a Qualifying Condition or Impairment of Health may be entitled to a presumption that their death was related to Participation in WTC Rescue, Recovery or Clean-up Operations. The Eligible Beneficiary/Beneficiaries of such members would be able to apply for an Accidental Death Benefit, subject to applicable filing requirements.
