PACT Act Veterans Claims Clinic & VA Health Care Enrollment Fair

Join us at a free event for Veterans!

What is the PACT Act?

The PACT Act is a law that expands VA benefits and health care for Veterans exposed to burn pits and other toxic substances. It is one of the largest expansions in VA’s history and could impact generations of Veterans and their survivors. If you served during the Vietnam, Gulf War or Post-9/11 eras, register for this free event to find out how the PACT Act affects you. Even if you have been denied VA benefits or health care in the past, you may now qualify under this new law.

There are three opportunities at this event.

Veterans Claims Clinic

Meet one-on-one with a VA claims processor to file or follow up on a claim, including those related to toxic exposures.

VA Health Care Enrollment Fair

Get help applying for VA health care. This option is for Veterans who have never been seen by a VA health care provider.

Resource Tables

Get information about toxic exposure screenings. Visit tables and chat with representatives from throughout VA (including benefits, health care, burial and the Vet Center), the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs, and a variety of other local and state organizations serving Veterans.

By appointment only - register today!

When you register you can make an appointment for the Claims Clinic, VA Health Care enrollment, or both. Or you can register to visit Resource tables only.
