New Option for Veteran Health Care

New Option for Veteran Health Care

If you are a Veteran or know one, there is a new health care option.

Beginning March 5, 2024, all veterans who were exposed to toxins and other hazardous materials while serving in the military will be eligible to enroll directly in VA health care – years earlier than called for by the PACT Act. This means all veterans who served in the Vietnam War, Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Global War on Terror, or any other combat zone after 9/11 will be eligible to enroll directly in VA health care without first applying for VA benefits. Veterans who never deployed but were exposed to toxins while training or on active duty in the U.S. will also be eligible to enroll. CLICK HERE FOR FULL DETAILS.
