Nikki Budzinski Celebrates Second Anniversary of the PACT Act

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.

Since its passage, there have been over 1.1 million approved PACT Act claims – including more than 4,000 claims approved in Illinois’ 13th 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 Mallory Payne:
“Nikki Budzinski is committed to honoring Illinois veterans and ensuring they receive the quality health care they have earned – and will continue to do so when she wins reelection in November.”
