THE PACT ACT AND YOUR VA BENEFITS The PACT Act is a law that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. This law helps
us provide generations of Veterans—and their survivors—with the care and benefits they’ve earned and deserve. COMPACT ACT: GETTING EMERGENCY CARE AT NON-VA FACILITIES If you think your life
or health is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. You don’t need to check with us first. But if you go to a non-VA facility—even one that’s in our community care
network—you must follow certain rules so that we can cover the cost of your care. PROVISIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE CLELAND-DOLE ACT The Cleland-Dole Act was signed into law in December 2022.
The act addresses Veteran homelessness, telehealth and long-term care. It also addresses prostate cancer research, rural health, substance use disorder, mental health, access to care, non-VA
care, Vet Centers, educational assistance, beneficiary travel, beneficiary debt collection and the G.I. Bill.
