Individual Requesters/Recipients - What types of compensation may the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) provide to me if I qualify?

If you qualify for CICP benefits, you may be compensated for:

• Medical expenses (unreimbursed/out-of-pocket medical expenses that are reasonable and necessary to diagnose or treat your covered injury and to diagnose, treat, or prevent its health complications)
• Lost employment income
• Survivor death benefits*

*See the section for Survivors if you fall under this category.

Please note that the CICP is the payer of last resort and can only reimburse or pay for medical services or items, or lost employment income that are not covered by other third-party payers, such as health insurance, Veterans Affairs benefits, or Workers’ Compensation.
