What if I miss the filing deadline?
If the original Request for Benefits is postmarked more than one (1) year after the deceased injured countermeasure recipient received a covered countermeasure, the survivor(s) will be ineligible for CICP benefits. In some cases, an immunization record is required to establish the date of the countermeasure administration.
If you miss the filing deadline, you may request reconsideration of the case. Requests for reconsideration must be received in writing within 60 days of the CICP’s determination of ineligibility, and mailed to:
