pact act (2)

The PACT Act expands and extends eligibility for Veterans Affairs (VA) health care for veterans with toxic exposures and veterans of the Vietnam, Gulf War era and Post-9/11 eras. The PACT Act adds to the list of health conditions that the VA assumes (or “presumes”) are caused by exposure to these substances. This law helps us provide generations of veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve. 

Every enrolled veteran will receive an initial toxic exposure screening and a follow-up screening every five years. Veterans who are not enrolled but who are eligible to enroll will have an opportunity to enroll and receive the screening. 

File your PACT Act claim by August 9th to be eligible for backdated benefits.
