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. And starting March 5, 2024, we’re expanding VA health care to millions of Veterans—years earlier than called for by the PACT Act.

Vet Centers (Readjustment Counseling)
All Veterans are encouraged to seek Vet Center services. Any Veterans and current service members, including members of the National Guard and Reserve components, are eligible if any of the following applies:

Have served on active military duty in any combat theater or area of hostility∗ (see footnote)

Experienced a military sexual trauma (regardless of gender or service era)

Provided mortuary services or direct emergent medical care to treat the casualties of war while serving on active military duty

Performed as a member of an unmanned aerial vehicle crew that provided direct support to operations in a combat theater or area of hostility

Accessed care at a Vet Center prior to Jan. 2, 2013, as a Vietnam-Era Veteran

Served on active military duty in response to a national emergency or major disaster declared by the president, or under orders of the governor or chief executive of a state in response to a disaster or civil disorder in that state

Are a current or former member of the Coast Guard who participated in a drug interdiction operation, regardless of the location

Are a current member of the Reserve Components assigned to a military command in a drilling status, including active Reserves, who has a behavioral health condition or psychological trauma related to military service that adversely effects quality of life or adjustment to civilian life.
Please contact us, as our eligibility may expand. If we are unable to help you, we will find someone who can. Our services are also available to family members when their participation would support the growth and goals of the Veteran or service member. If you consider them family, so do we. We also offer bereavement services to family members of Veterans who were receiving Vet Center services at the time of the Veteran’s death, and to the families of service members who died while serving on active duty.
 
Veterans Benefits Banking Program, (VBBP)
What is the Veterans Benefit Banking Program?
The Veterans Benefits Banking Program, or VBBP, is a partnership between VA and the
Association of Military Banks of America (AMBA) that highlights for Veterans and beneficiaries potential access to banks and credit unions they may otherwise not have access to due to lack of awareness, individual credit history, and/or legal history.

Why did VA create VBBP?
VA seeks to provide Veterans with banking options, support, and access to education necessary for them to achieve greater financial independence, resiliency, and literacy. Providing banking options for our Veterans and other beneficiaries will give them secure ways to electronically receive VA benefits, more effectively manage their monetary benefits, and reduce the instances of fraud they experience.
