The PACT Act: A Game-Changer for Veterans’ Benefits
Signed into law on August 2, 2022, the Honoring Our PACT Act brought the most significant expansion of VA healthcare and benefits in recent history.
This important legislation was created to ensure that veterans exposed to toxic substances during service—such as burn pits, Agent Orange, and other hazards—get the care and compensation they’ve long deserved. It also extends benefits to certain surviving family members and dependents, recognizing the lasting impact exposure-related conditions can have on entire families.
Supporting Three Generations of Veterans Affected by Toxic Exposure
List of Services
- Camp Lejeune Exposure
List Item 1
The PACT Act allows civilians to file lawsuits for toxic water exposure at Camp Lejeune.
Now, spouses, children, and others affected—not just veterans—can seek compensation, with over $6 billion in estimated payouts.
- Burn Pit Exposure
List Item 2
The VA now links burn pit exposure to over 20 serious health conditions, including rare cancers.
Veterans no longer have to prove direct exposure—only that they served in a qualifying area during a specific timeframe.
- Agent Orange Exposure
List Item 3
Veterans exposed to Agent Orange during their service may now qualify for expanded presumptive condition benefits — even if they served outside of Vietnam.
We help veterans get the support they’ve earned under these new guidelines.
