PACT Act

Honoring Veterans on National Vietnam War Veterans Day (March 29) during 50th anniversary of Vietnam War and encouraging them to apply for earned VA benefits and care

Did you miss the Feb. 1 VA Privacy Service webinar on how to safeguard your PACT Act and other VA benefits, and protect your identity from scammers? Don’t worry, you can still watch it and learn valuable tips. No registration or login required.

Monthly meetings at the Robley Rex VA are part of VA’s nationwide PACT Act awareness campaign rollout aimed to introduce the new law to Veterans.

In March, VA will host 40 events nationwide to educate Veterans about the benefits and health care available to them as a result of the PACT Act.

If you’re the survivor of a Veteran who died from a toxic exposure-related condition, you may qualify for new benefits like the VA DIC Program.

March 20, 2023, marks the 20-year anniversary of the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).

New legislation has expanded eligibility for VA DIC. If you’re the survivor of a service member who died in the line of duty or a Veteran who died from a service-related injury or illness, you may qualify.

Veterans are getting help filing claims for benefits and services they’ve earned at a series of local events nationwide.

Join the Bob Woodruff Foundation on April 5 at 3 p.m. EST for an online panel discussion. Experts from VA and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) will discuss the historic expansion of benefits and health care provisions in the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act.

The PACT Act expands benefits, health care, and services to Veterans and their survivors, who were exposed to environmental toxins such as Agent Orange in Vietnam, burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan, or other herbicides or radiation exposures in other places around the world where Veterans served.

VA will be publishing the PACT Act Performance Dashboard every other Friday to measure the implementation of PACT Act and showcase its impact on Veterans and survivors.

Kansas City VA hosted its first PACT Act Town Hall during VA's “PACT Act Week of Action.” Event at new clinic was a one-stop-shop event on all things PACT Act.
