#VETERANS!! Today is the deadline to inform the VA of your intent to file a claim under the #PACTAct and have the effective date backdated to August of 2022.

There is no deadline to file under the PACT Act, this is the deadline to get your claim *backdated* to the effective date of the act.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: #Veterans and survivors now have until Monday, August 14 at 11:59pm to file your #PACTAct claim—or submit your intent to file—and be eligible for benefits backdated to August 10, 2022.

Take advantage of this extension and file now at VA.gov/PACT.

The PACT Act is here to stay, and Veterans and survivors will always be able to apply for the care and benefits they deserve.

But if you apply by Monday night, you could be eligible for backdated benefits.

Since @POTUS signed our #PACTAct into law, more than 500,000 veterans have filed claims for health benefits – and millions more have been screened for toxic exposure.

As we celebrate this milestone, we renew our pledge to honor our heroic veterans with the benefits they're due.

Very strong ad.

Everyone who’s running against someone who voted against the #PACTact for vets should slam them on it daily. It’ll especially resonate with independents. And with vets—50% of which are independents. https://twitter.com/adamkinzinger/status/1611585082074054656

Burn pits the size of football fields that incinerate the wastes of war – like chemicals and fuel – got our servicemembers sick. The PACT Act will get these veterans the benefits they deserve — President Joe Biden #quote #PACTAct #Veterans

We have a lot of obligations as Americans. But we all have one sacred obligation: to take care of those we send a war, and to care for them and their families when they come home — President Joe Biden #quote #PactAct #Veterans
