To be covered under the World Trade Center Disability Law that
presumes certain illnesses to be caused by exposure during the
rescue, recovery and cleanup of the WTC, you
must file a Notice of Participation by June 14, 2007.
If you worked for 40 hours or more at the WTC site, Fresh Kills
landfill, the NYC Morgue or at the temporary morgue or on barges
traveling between the west side of Manhattan and the Fresh Kills
Landfill then you should file a Notice of Participation even
if you are not ill. Doing so will protect
your option to claim a WTC related line of duty injury and permit
you to obtain accident disability benefits as a result.

and a Notice of Participation form.
