'''Asbestos Trust Funds''': Over '''$30 billion remains available''' across 60+ active bankruptcy trusts established by former asbestos manufacturers. Average payouts range from $300,000-$400,000, with processing times as quick as 90 days for qualified claims. Trust fund claims can be filed simultaneously with other compensation pursuits.<ref>[https://www.mesotheliomalawyercenter.org/mesothelioma-asbestos-trust-funds/ Asbestos Trust Fund Filing Process], Mesothelioma Lawyer Center</ref>

'''Veterans Benefits''': Military veterans with mesothelioma qualify for VA disability compensation up to $4,044.91 monthly for 100% disability rating, plus free VA healthcare at specialized VA mesothelioma centers. The VA recognizes mesothelioma as presumptively service-connected for veterans with documented asbestos exposure.<ref>[https://mesothelioma.net/va-claims-mesothelioma/ VA Claims for Mesothelioma], Mesothelioma.net</ref>

'''Litigation Settlements''': Mesothelioma settlements and verdicts frequently exceed $1 million for cases against solvent defendants.
