Do You Qualify?

Cancer Compensation for Veterans Exposed to Radiation

You may qualify for compensation if you or a family member (as veterans or civilians exposed to radiation) has had internal cancer or leukemia in the last 60 years (even if the family member is deceased) – or if you get cancer in the future – and can answer yes to any of the following criteria.

Note: Spouses or children or grandchildren are considered eligible survivors and may make a claim on behalf of a deceased family member who meets the criteria for the compensation programs.

Downwinders®

Did you live in any of the following states and counties for a period of at least two years between January 21, 1951, and October 31, 1958, or during the month of July 1962:

  • Arizona: Apache, Coconino, Gila, Navajo, Yavapai
  • Nevada: Eureka, Lander, Lincoln, Nye, White Pine, northern portion of Clark
  • Utah: Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Millard, Piute, San Juan, Sevier, Washington, Wayne

See the list of covered cancers under the Downwinders® program.

Downwinders®:
$50,000 in compensation

Atomic Veterans®

Were you physically present at the Nevada test site, Trinity test site, or other island test site in the Atlantic or Pacific during a period of atmospheric nuclear testing prior to January 1, 1963 (operations and ships), or did you participate in the decontamination of equipment at a designated location that was used in federal tests?
See the list of covered cancers under the Atomic Veterans® program.

Atomic Veterans®:
$75,000 in compensation

Uranium Workers

Did you perform some duty in a uranium mine or uranium mill, or were you transporting uranium in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming prior to 1972? (This category also includes other illnesses like cor pulmonale fibrosis, silicosis, and pneumoconiosis.)
See the list of covered cancers and other illnesses under the Uranium Workers program.

Uranium Workers:
$150,000 to $275,000 in compensation

Nevada Test Site Workers

Did you work at the Nevada test site, just north of Las Vegas, or other nuclear testing locations either as a civilian or member of the military, during relevant time periods – and did you later become ill due to your exposure there?

See the list of covered cancers and other illnesses under the Nevada Test Site Workers program.

Nevada Test Site Workers:
$75,000 to $400,000 in compensation

Department of Energy Workers

Did you work for the Department of Energy or one of its contractors or subcontractors and were exposed to either radiation, beryllium, or silica at one of its 380 designated locations across 38 different states or one of the atmospheric nuclear test locations in the Pacific?
See the list of covered cancers and other illnesses under the Department of Energy Workers program.

Department of Energy Workers:
$150,000 to $400,000 in compensation

Note: If you filed for compensation and were not paid, please request more information. Our team’s specialized expertise and experience may help you get paid even when other efforts fail.

This is not a class-action lawsuit, but rather a group of government programs. The programs have been approved and the compensation made available by the United States Congress.
