New proposed federal legislation in 2024 may award $150,000, tax-free, to individuals who have had cancer and were exposed to the radiation from the Atmospheric Nuclear Testing, which took place at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950s and 1962.

See if you or a deceased family member would qualify.

Proposed Legislation

There are now bills in the Senate and the House of Representatives which will expand this legislation, allowing us to finally help more individuals that were affected by this government-created radiation from the Atmospheric Nuclear Testing that took place at the Nevada Test Site.

These are bipartisan bills supported by both sides of the aisle, which we believe will be passed and signed into law in 2024.

One of the most significant changes in this new legislation is to expand the area of responsibility by the Federal Government to include individuals that lived in any one of the following states for at least one year in the 1950s or in 1962:

Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah

In addition to living in one of the above states, the individual had to have also been diagnosed with one of the following internal cancers:

  • Bile Duct Cancer
  • Bladder Cancer
  • Brain Cancer
  • Breast Cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Esophageal Cancer
  • Gall Bladder Cancer
  • Leukemia
  • Liver Cancer
  • Lung Cancer
  • Lymphoma
  • Multiple Myeloma
  • Nasal Pharynx Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
  • Pancreatic Cancer
  • Rectal Cancer
  • Salivary Gland Cancer
  • Small Intestine Cancer
  • Stomach Cancer
  • Thyroid Cancer

The new legislation is also increasing the award to $150,000, tax-free.

In addition, eligibility states that you may file a claim on yourself. You may also file a claim for a family member if they qualify but are deceased. Their spouse, children, or grandchildren are considered eligible beneficiaries and may make a claim on their behalf. A person may also file a claim on a deceased child.
