Enrollment registration for PACT Act scheduled on Kaua‘i for veterans

Veteran registration for the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act is slated to take place on March 27-28.

The two-day event will bring out Veteran Affairs health care professionals to share information and resources with veterans on Kaua‘i regarding the new act, which expands VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange and other toxic substances.

“We are excited to offer PACT Act enrollment and health services to our Veterans,” said Dr. Adam Robinson, director VAPIHCS. “If you aren’t sure if you are eligible for VA services, please come and see us. We’ll help you access the benefits that you have earned and deserve.”

The event will be from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Kauai Veterans Center at 3215 Kaua‘i Veterans Memorial Highway, Līhu‘e. Veterans who are already enrolled may also come for vaccines, diabetic foot checks, blood pressure checks, as well as health and benefits questions.

The new act is a historic new law that will help VA deliver for millions of Veterans — and their spouses or survivors — by empowering us to presumptively provide care and benefits to Veterans suffering from more than 20 toxic exposure-related conditions. It will also bring generations of men and women who have served into VA health care, which will improve Veteran health outcomes across the board.

The VA is implementing the PACT Act now to deliver care and services for toxic-exposed Veterans and their survivors. To apply for benefits, click here to file a claim.
