who worked in the WTC rescue, recovery or cleanup efforts between Sept. 11, 2001,
and Sept. 12, 2002, to file a Notice of Participation (Form #622),
which allows a subsequent application for disability benefits. The deadline is
June 13. The deadline to register with the Workers Compensation

Compensation form is WTC-12. | |
