COUNTERMEASURES INJURY COMPENSATION PROGRAM
REQUEST FOR BENEFITS FORM
The Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) provides certain medical and lost employment income
benefits for individuals who were administered or used a covered countermeasure (such as 2009 H1N1 vaccine,
Tamiflu®, Relenza®, and peramivir, mechanical ventilator, N-95 Filter Mask, anthrax vaccine, smallpox vaccine, etc.)
and suffered a serious physical injury as a result. Individuals have one year from the date they were administered or used
the covered countermeasure to submit a Request for Benefits Form (Request Form) in order to be considered for benefits.
Although the CICP needs all the medical documentation that supports the injury in order to process the request,
requesters may submit only this Form in order to meet the filing deadline. The CICP may also provide death benefits
to certain survivors. The estate of a deceased individual may also qualify for certain medical and lost employment income
benefits.
Read the instructions before completing this Request for Benefits Form.

PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT
Public Burden Statement: The purpose of this data collection is to gather information to allow the Secretary of Health and
Human Services to determine if requesters are eligible for Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP)
benefits. Requesters (or their representatives) must submit appropriate documentation forms and relevant medical records
as specified in Section 42 CFR 110.50-110.53 to the CICP. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB

required to obtain or retain a benefit (42 CFR Part 110). Access to these records is strictly limited to authorized users who

respect to such records. The System of Records Notice for Injury Compensation Programs, HHS/HRSA/HSB, System
