The bill will extend the World Trade Center Health Program to 2090, and provide full compensation to survivors and first responders through the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. As someone who first introduced the Zadroga Act and had to fight to pass it that first time, I am thrilled that we are fulfilling our moral obligation as a grateful nation to support our first responders and send a powerful message to all future first responders that we will have their backs as they do ours, said U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ). This should have been obvious from the start. Our first-responders are always here for us and we must be here for them. It would have been unconscionable to go home to celebrate the holidays with our families without finally telling our first responders -- in the name of New Jerseys Jim Zadroga that we will never forget what they did for our fellow citizens and this nation on that day that changed the world. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
