As a Navy veteran, I was proud to help pass the landmark PACT Act, legislation that ensures that veterans exposed to toxic burn pits receive the care they have earned. Burn pits are this generation’s Agent Orange and we must do everything we can to make sure veterans and their families are able to access the care and benefits they deserve.
I’ve been working hand-in-hand with veterans service organizations and advocates to raise awareness about these new benefits and ensure the VA is implementing our legislation in the most effective, efficient manner possible.
Below are resources for veterans interested in learning more about how to access their benefits:
- Learn more about the PACT Act, apply for disability benefits, and check your eligibility and enroll in the VA Health Care System
- If you are already enrolled in VA health care, you can call your primary care team to schedule a Toxic Exposure Screening
If you would like help applying for benefits, you can reach out to your local Veterans Service Office:
