Jahana Hayes and House Democrats Celebrate Second Anniversary of the PACT Act

Thanks to Hayes’ leadership, more than 1 million veterans have benefitted from the PACT Act

Two years ago, the PACT Act was signed into law marking the largest expansion of benefits and services for veterans in more than 30 years thanks to Jahana Hayes and House Democrats.

Since its passage, there have been over 1.1 million approved PACT Act claims – having received 1,565 claims in Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District – delivering:

• More than $5.7 billion in earned PACT Act-related benefits provided to veterans and their survivors.

• Expedited timelines for veterans to receive their earned care and benefits by several years.

• Free screenings for toxic exposures for more than 5.6 million veterans.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Jahana Hayes and House Democrats are committed to honoring Connecticut’s veterans and ensuring they receive the quality health care they have earned – and will continue to do so when she wins reelection in November.”
