Special Exposure Cohort for the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, TN Has Been Approved

On February 26, 2019, the Secretary of Health and Human Services designated the following class for addition to the Special Exposure Cohort in a report to Congress. The SEC includes all employees of the Department of Energy, its predecessor agencies, and their contractors and subcontractors who worked at the Y-12 Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, during the period January 1, 1958, through December 31, 1976, for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more other classes of employees in the Special Exposure Cohort.

This SEC removes several hurdles for Y-12 workers who have either previously applied for a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) white medical benefits card and been denied, or who have never applied. Benefits up to $400,000 in monetary compensation and FREE health benefits. You now could be eligible for easier benefits approval!
