The specified disease grounds widen and the presence period drops to one year
What the document says“was physically present in an affected area for a period of at least 1 year during the period beginning on September 24, 1944, and ending on November 6, 1962; or”
The section amends section 4(a)(2) of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act by changing the affected area to an affected area, cutting 2 years to 1 year and October 31, 1958 to November 6, 1962, and adding a new subparagraph covering someone present in an affected area for at least 1 year between September 24, 1944 and November 6, 1962. It also replaces the $50,000 and $75,000 figures with $100,000 and adds the same no prior payment condition.
What the document actually says“was physically present in an affected area for a period of at least 1 year during the period beginning on September 24, 1944, and ending on November 6, 1962; or”
A new ground is added. It covers a year spent in an affected area. The window runs from 1944 to November 6, 1962.
An older rule asked for two years. It now asks for one. The payment is set at $100,000.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
