I filed a Notice and received a letter stating I do not meet the pre-qualifying criteria. Can changes to the law affect my status?

The WTC law was enacted in 2005 and has been amended in 2008, 2013, 2016, 2018, and 2021. It is possible that an amendment in the law could affect your eligibility. If the WTC law is amended in the future, the WTC section of the website will be updated. If an amendment to the WTC law expands eligibility, the new eligibility requirements will be highlighted.
