The #health system grew by tens of thousands of employees under the #Biden admin as more #veterans enrolled in #VA #healthcare after passage of the #PACTAct, which expanded benefits for veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. Then-secretary Denis McDonough urged veterans to be seen by VA doctors rather than request referrals to private practitioners outside the system.

Jeez, an agent-orange inflicted, nothing-to-lose veterans demographic is a strange segment to target with your massive gutting of government services, especially when your base also skews to the gun-toting segment as well. I mean those have gotta overlap in a Venn diagram that sometimes bites.

South Korea, long a close ally of the U.S., has significantly increased its budget for veterans and their family members. Even though it lags behind the Americans' level of support, the VA in the U.S. can learn from its East Asian partner.

Montana’s veterans represent the best among us. As long as Jon Tester is in the Senate, they'll have someone they can count on to fight for them. Take it from Terry, a Vietnam veteran and a lifelong Republican. #BlueWaveRising #MTPol #Allied4Dems #PACTAct #Veterans #DemCast #Montana

Bob Casey always stands with Veterans to make sure they receive their hard earned benefits from putting their bodies on the line. That's why we need to keep him in the Senate to continue fighting for stronger veterans programs. #BlueWaveRising #PACTAct

VP Kamala Harris supported efforts to pass the PACT Act, which improved veterans' health benefits through legislation. The Act expands eligibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs treatment of conditions related to service during the Vietnam War, Gulf War, the Global War on Terrorism, and other military campaigns.

Senator Tester got the PACT Act done two years ago when nobody said he could. Why? Because it was the # 1 priority for Veterans and their families. We need to do the same with Senator Tester's Major Richard Star Act—the top legislative issue for veterans and VSOs. Our combat-injured Vets can't wait. #MTPol #JonTester @JonTester #Montana #PACTAct #MajorRichardStarAct #Veterans #VeteransHealthcare

Thanks to Sen. Tester’s PACT Act, the Montana VA recently surpassed 35,000 million toxic exposure screenings for veterans.

#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.
