Bergmann & Moore will begin a series on the recently passed PACT Act this week. Signed into law by President Biden on August 10, 2022, the PACT Act is a comprehensive set of newly passed regulations that will entitle more Veterans to presumptive disability benefits and healthcare.
PACT stands for: Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics
(The full name of the law is The Sergeant First Class (SFC) Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act.)
Why was this new law passed?
The PACT Act legislature was designed to increase the presumptive locations and medical conditions for various toxic exposures. This allows for more Veterans to receive disability compensation as well as VA healthcare.
Who will benefit from changes made under the PACT Act?
When do these changes go into effect?
Start your claim today by completing an Intent to File a claim for benefits, then submit VA Form 21-526EZ within one year to retain your effective date.
Stay tuned this week as Bergmann & Moore continues our series on The PACT Act!
