25 Years After 9/11: Employer Obligations to Inform Affected Workers of Victim Compensation Funds

With the twenty-fifth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, New York employers may want to note that state law requires practicable efforts to notify employees who worked near the World Trade Center towers during and after the attacks of their eligibility for two victim compensation funds. Quick Hits The 9/11 Notice Act and regulations require employers to notify “where practicable” current and former employees who worked in affected areas of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn of potential eligibility for federal compensation funds. The funds are not limited to first responders but apply to those helped with the clean-up and construction or lived, worked, or went to school in the affected areas during and after the attacks. A quarter century after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the effects of the tragedy continue to linger, especially in New York City. Recently, Mayor Zohran Mamdani declared September 11 an official “Citywide Day of Remembrance and Service” to honor victims, first responders, survivors, workers, and affected families. In May 2025, New York’s Empire State Department (ESD) finalized regulations under the 9/11 Notice Act requiring employers to notify “where practicable” current and former employees who worked in Lower Manhattan and Western Brooklyn during
