COLUMBIA, S.C. — Saturday is the deadline for an open enrollment period that lets some veterans bypass the Veterans Administration benefit application and get healthcare. It’s through a relatively new federal law called the PACT Act.
PACT stands for Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics and was passed by Congress in 2022. The law expands VA healthcare and benefits for those exposed to Agent Orange, burn pits, and other toxic substances. The also act added a list of health conditions that the VA presumes are caused by exposure to these substances.
Harry Bishop served in the Air Force for 24 years and says these benefits were a long time coming.
