The Honoring Our PACT Act
On August 10, 2022, President Biden signed the Honoring Our PACT Act into law, expanding health care and benefits for more than five million servicemembers who were exposed to dangerous burn pit fumes, Agent Orange, and other toxins during their service. My office is honored to be able to help veterans connect with new benefits and services that are available under the PACT Act. To connect with my office, call 210-348-8216.
