Securing Long-Term Funding and Mental Health Access for 9/11 Responders.

This law ensures the long-term financial stability of the World Trade Center Health Program (WTC Health Program) by extending funding until 2090 and immediately appropriating nearly $3 billion. It significantly improves access to mental health care by allowing licensed mental health providers, not just physicians, to certify mental health conditions for program eligibility. These changes guarantee continuous medical support for 9/11 responders and survivors.
Key points
Guaranteed funding for the WTC Health Program extended through fiscal year 2090, including an immediate deposit of nearly $3 billion into the Special Fund.
Expanded access to mental health treatment: Licensed mental health providers can now certify mental health conditions, speeding up the process for responders and survivors seeking care.
Program administration is clarified by excluding deceased individuals from enrollment counts and reallocating unused funds to ensure they remain available for healthcare purposes until 2090.
