Veterans Benefits and the 2022 PACT Act
The PACT Act of 2022 expanded health care and benefits to veterans with presumptive conditions from exposure to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. With more than four billion dollars already distributed, the PACT Act is a significant milestone in supporting veterans and survivors. This episode of OC In Focus covers the PACT Act, Veterans Resource Centers on college campuses, how veterans can get connected to benefits beyond education, housing, and mental health services. Guests from the Veterans Benefits Administration include Kelandra Anthony (Saddleback College VETS Success Campus Counselor), Imelda Flores (Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor), Emmett O'Meara (LA Regional Director, Veterans Benefits Administration).
