US President Donald Trump signed a bill into law Monday granting permanent reauthorization of the September 11 Victims Compensation fund.
The original fund was set to expire in 2020, but the administrator of the fund announced in February that the fund had limited remaining resources and would be required to significantly reduce its awards. This announcement led to Congressional hearings on the fund, which included testimony from comedian Jon Stewart and various 9/11 first responders including Luis Alvarez who died just recently.
