The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act | MesoRFA Information and Press Releases

In addition to health insurance, you may have private disability insurance. In some states, depending on where you live and work, you may be eligible to receive state disability insurance payments.

If you are a Mesothelioma patient with the disease caused from being a Ground Zero 911 first responder, the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act passed the congress on Christmas Eve 2010.
