Matt Cartwright Celebrates Second Anniversary of the PACT Act

Thanks to Cartwright’s 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 Matt Cartwright.

Since its passage, there have been over 1.1 million approved PACT Act claims – including 48,000 claims approved in Pennsylvania’s 8th 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.

The PACT Act included Rep. Cartwright’s Camp Lejeune Justice Act, legislation to ensure servicemembers and their families can receive justice for their exposure to toxic chemicals in drinking water at Camp Lejeune.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“Matt Cartwright is committed to honoring Pennsylvania’s veterans and ensuring they receive the quality health care they have earned – and will continue to do so when he wins reelection in November.”
