RD Legal Funding Continues to Offer Funding to 9/11 First Responders on Their Zadroga Awards
CRESSKILL, N.J., Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The 9/11 First Responder community continues to suffer as they wait for full payment of their Victims Compensation Fund awards due to their heroic acts during September 11th and the aftermath of the attacks. Those who applied and qualified have received a small portion of their VCF award, but the remaining portion of that award will not be released until late 2016 or 2017.

For some, this time frame may be too long of a delay. Therefore, RD Legal Funding, LLC ("RD Legal") is continuing to provide advances to 9/11 First Responders based on their VCF awards.
Joseph Genovesi, President of RD Legal, says "It's always tough around this time of year for those in the First Responder community. They have been waiting too long for their compensation and many are suffering from debilitating health issues. While going through these tough times, it's important to ensure First Responders have adequate capital for various needs. Through our Zadroga funding program, RD Legal can help."
In addition to the First Responders with VCF awards, RD Legal is able to provide funding to plaintiffs' attorneys who have fees tied to the James Zadroga Act.
September 11th, 2015 will make 14 years since the infamous September 11th attacks. As the country mourns the lives lost and the families affected by the tragedy, it's important to acknowledge the issues surrounding the 9/11 First Responder community. Those brave patriots who risked their lives and health continue to suffer the effects of their courage during the aftermath of 9/11. As they wait for compensation, their medical benefits are in jeopardy if the James Zadroga Act isn't extended past its current October deadline. Fortunately, activists like John Feal of the FealGood Foundation and politicians like Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Senator from New York are advocating for the extension of the Act set to expire in 2016.
