Who can file for benefits under Subtitle B of The Act?
Subtitle B provides benefits to eligible current or former employees of DOE, and certain of its vendors, contractors and subcontractors, and to certain survivors of such individuals. To be eligible, an employee must have cancer, chronic silicosis, beryllium sensitivity, or chronic beryllium disease and worked at a covered DOE facility, atomic weapons employer facility, or a beryllium vendor facility during a specified time period. Please Note: NIOSH only conducts occupational radiation dose reconstructions for certain workers with cancer who filed claims for compensation under Subtitle B of The Act.
