Updated Re-Enrollment Information for WTC EHC
I've heard from a few of you that your applications for re-enrollment to WTC EHC (necessary for anybody who enrolled after Jan. 1st, 2001) have been held up for weeks without any indication as to why.
[Note: Anybody who has not yet enrolled and wishes to can get the applications here: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/wtc/enroll.html]
Today I called the information line to find out why my application has been held up and discovered that I had, in fact, been accepted for re-enrollment a couple of weeks after I applied. NIOSH, however, did not let me know.
Anybody who submitted their application and has not heard anything since should contact NIOSH at this number and check their status:
1 (888) 982-4748 [WTC-HP4U]
Getting Through the Menu:
Dial *1 for English
Dial *1 for information about eligibility and enrollment
Dial *3 to talk to a customer service rep
A NOTE ON ACCEPTABLE ITEMS OF PROOF FOR APPLICATION:
I've been getting a lot of questions about what kinds of documentation are being accepted as proof of exposure for Stuyvesant students.
I sent a copy of my high school diploma from 2002 (I was class of '02, not sure if this will work for later classes). Other people have mentioned that they have sent copies of program cards and/or yearbooks.
For anybody who has re-enrolled with success, please let me know what types of proof you submitted! I'd like to compile a list for everybody else. I am also trying to get this information from the application office itself, and will keep everyone updated.

For those of you who signed up with WTC EHC after Jan. 1st, 2011:
***UPDATE***
I originally wrote that you'd need to reapply if you signed up after Jan. 1st, 2010. That was incorrect. The actual cut-off date is Jan. 1st, 2011.
Now that the program has changed over to being administered by the Zadroga bill, YOU WILL HAVE TO REAPPLY!
You do not need to redo the introductory 5 hour appointment, but please look out in the mail for the application. It needs to be filled in and sent back before you'll be able to make follow-up appointments or refill your prescriptions.
As a Stuyvesant alum from 2002-2005, YOU WILL DEFINITELY QUALIFY during the reapplication process. But, while there is no danger that you'll be turned away, you will need to present proof of your presence at Stuyvesant in 2001/2002. I am compiling a list of acceptable documents, which I will pass along.
If you have any questions about it or do not receive an application to reapply, please email me at stuyhealth@gmail.com!
