Event Summary: The Clarksville VA Summer VetFest will highlight the PACT Act, a law passed in 2022 that expands VA health care and benefits for Veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. All Veterans who were exposed to toxins and other hazards while serving our country – at home or abroad – are now eligible to enroll directly in VA health care. During the Clarksville VA Summer VetFest, Veterans can initiate a claim with Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) representatives or ask questions about claims. Eligible Veterans can also enroll in VA health care and learn about additional VA programs.
