Jul 10, 2024, 06:22 PM

The PACT Act, signed into law by President Biden, represents the largest expansion of benefits and services for toxic-exposed veterans in over 30 years. The legislation has already resulted in 1 million claims approved and $5.7 billion delivered to over 800,000 veterans and survivors. Veterans who filed an Intent To File (ITF) form have 365 days to complete their claims to access these benefits. House Democrats and President Biden have been instrumental in enacting this law, which aims to ensure no veteran is left behind. The application for benefits was made available immediately, and the Act focuses on expanding high quality health care for veterans.
