U.S. Sen. Gary Peters has provided an update about new Department of Veterans Affairs resources available to Michigan veterans.
Peters said he is proud to have helped pass the “Honoring Our PACT” Act into law to ensure veterans and their survivors can obtain health care and benefits through the VA.
Peters said he has traveled across Michigan to raise awareness about these new benefits. He also asked for help in spreading the word to veterans in order to reach as many people as possible.
The VA is expected to begin processing claims under this new law in January, but veterans can now file claims and apply for PACT Act-related benefits by calling the Veterans Administration, 800-698-2411 or filing a claim online.
