Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2021

Mar. 3, 2022 | H.R. 3967

The PACT Act addresses a number of VA healthcare issues. It extends VA healthcare eligibility to veterans and extends presumptions to conditions relating to burn pit, toxic-exposure and Agent Orange exposure. Veterans will benefit from a simplified eligibility process and VA staff will be able to process their claims without delay. The legislation will improve the ability of VA healthcare staff to provide services for veterans exposed to toxic substances and make long needed investments in the claims process, medical personnel, claims personnel and facilities to improve access to all eligible veterans.
