Alleged victims of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests have until April 15 to file their final claims with the Archdiocese of New York as part of a victims compensation program set up by the church.
The deadline is for individuals who filed an initial claim with the Archdiocese prior to Nov. 1, the end of the second phase of the compensation program.
Those individuals were given a packet that included a form to request financial compensation for the abuse. Those are the forms due by Sunday.
To date, more than 200 claims of abuse by priests have been filed under the diocese’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program, launched by Cardinal Timothy Dolan in 2016.
