Veterans Newsletter - Starting March 5, millions of US veterans, including those who served in combat zones since Vietnam and those exposed to hazardous materials during training or operations, will become eligible for VA health care under an accelerated effort mandated by the PACT Act. This expansion, signed into law by President Joe Biden in August 2022, aims to provide timely benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances. The initiative, hastened by a hiring blitz facilitated by the law, underscores the VA's commitment to supporting veterans' health. Eligible veterans, regardless of service-connected disabilities, will have access to comprehensive health care, toxic exposure screenings, and additional benefits. The VA's goal to hire 52,000 employees this fiscal year is poised to enhance capacity, streamline services, and improve access for veterans nationwide.
