July 1, the VA kicked off the “PACT Act Summer VetFest,” an initiative designed to reach out to veterans and survivors and educate them on PACT Act and what to do file a claim. The VA is incentivizing PACT Act sign up (filing a claim).
All Eligible veterans that file a PACT ACT claim prior to Aug. 10, 2023, will have an effective date, retroactive, of 10 August 2022. Eligible veterans are encouraged to sign up to take advantage of this opportunity. For more information regarding the PACT Act, click here.
The PACT Act expands VA Health care and benefits to the veterans and survivors that were subjected to toxic substances. ROA was at the forefront championing the PACT Act legislation, getting it passed and signed into law.
