Join AARP for a Tele-Town Hall on PACT Act Benefits Featuring the VA

Join AARP for a National PACT Act Tele-Town Hall on expanded health care benefits and services available to veterans and their families from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under the new law. The event will also highlight key AARP resources and tools, such as the mobile-friendly Veterans & Military Families Health Benefits Navigator.

The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act, named after a decorated combat medic who died from a rare form of lung cancer, specifically addresses veterans with toxic exposures during the Vietnam War, Gulf War and post 9/11 eras.
