New Bill Expands Radiation Compensation in St Louis | St. Louis News
Description
A new bipartisan bill could dramatically expand radiation compensation for St. Louis residents, adding nine more ZIP codes and covering childhood leukemia—bringing long-overdue relief to families affected by decades of radioactive waste from the Manhattan Project. Co-sponsored by Congressman Wesley Bell, the legislation also raises the max payout from $50,000 to $150,000 and broadens eligible illnesses to include multiple cancers. Advocates have pushed for this change for years, and while current applications close December 27, this bill could open doors for many more survivors and grieving parents.
