Last Call on Victims Fund

Time is running out for victims of the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak to file a claim from a $40 million victims' compensation fund being administered by the Massachusetts' Attorney General's office.
According to agency officials any money not committed by Sept. 30 will have to be returned to the U.S. Justice Department, the agency that allocated the money for the fund.
So far the Massachusetts agency has approved claims filed by 621 victims with a total value of $22 million. An earlier report had erroneously indicated 651 claims had been approved.
Victims who have not filed should contact the Attorney General's office as soon as possible at 617-573-5375 or toll free at 844-315-0339. The office can also be reached by email at NECCAssistance@mass.gov. An on line application form is no longer available.
The office expects to be sending out another round of payments within the next two weeks.
