Two years ago, after fighting alongside veterans in the August heat to get it done, Chairman Senator Jon Tester’s PACT Act was signed into law. Today, the PACT Act is delivering more than a million toxic-exposed veterans and survivors the benefits and health care they earned.

Two years ago today, my PACT Act became law. Today, it’s delivering health care and benefits to more than one million toxic-exposed veterans and their families. Take a look at how this law has changed the game for so many Montanans and Americans:

For two years, Chairman Senator Jon Tester’s PACT Act has delivered for toxic-exposed veterans, including K2 Veterans, and it keeps delivering: VA plans to add Gulf War Illness to the list of conditions associated with service at the K2 base in Uzbekistan. sen.gov/W84WM

Our veterans were promised we would take care of them after their service. But right now, combat-injured veterans forced to retire before 20 years aren’t receiving their full military benefits. It’s time for Congress to pass the Major Richard Star Act to right this wrong.

We recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of my PACT Act. Thanks to this law, more than one million toxic-exposed vets and their families are finally receiving the health care and benefits they earned. dailymontanan.com/2024/08/12/mor…

Veterans receiving their earned VA disability benefits need to be able to access housing assistance when they are experiencing homelessness. Veterans Affairs and @HUDGov are taking steps to ensure these veterans can access the housing support they need. stripes.com/veterans/2024-…

Combat-injured veterans forced to retire before 20 years of service served their country faithfully, and they deserve their fully-earned military benefits. Chairman Senator Jon Tester’s bipartisan Major Richard Star Act would fix this injustice. It needs a floor vote ASAP.

Veterans deserve the best care and services no matter where they live, which means ensuring top-notch facilities close to home. Chairman Senator Jon Tester pushed VA to build a new health clinic in Lewistown, MT, which will expand services for rural veterans. sen.gov/KXRLQ

Fergus County vets: we've secured a new VA clinic for Lewistown! This new and improved facility will deliver more convenient, quality care closer to home, and I'll keep on VA to ensure this important project stays on track for the local community. lewistownnews.com/news/va-to-bui…

Two years ago, we got the PACT Act done when nobody said we could. Why? Because it was the # 1 priority for veterans and their families. Now we need to do the same with my Major Richard Star Act—the top legislative issue for veterans and VSOs. Our combat-injured vets can't wait.

Rural veterans deserve top-notch facilities close to home. This new VA clinic in Lewistown is a big win for Fergus County veterans, and I look forward to seeing it open its doors and improve veterans' access to care as soon as possible. helenair.com/news/local/mon…

Eliminating veterans homelessness starts with providing resources to organizations on the ground in their communities. Chairman Senator Jon Tester secured more than $11 million for local organizations focused on helping prevent and end veterans homelessness. veterans.senate.gov/2024/8/tester-…

Since my PACT Act became law, toxic-exposed veterans from across Montana have finally gotten access to the health care and benefits they earned in service to our country. Take it from them that this law is delivering for Montana veterans and their families:

Providing on-the-ground organizations the resources they need to help our veterans is critical in our fight to end veterans homelessness. Chairman Senator Jon Tester recently secured $11 million in grants for Montana organizations that support homeless and at-risk veterans.

Ensuring Montanans' access to housing is particularly important when it comes to our vets and their families. That's why I'm so proud to be delivering these resources to support life-changing work on the ground to tackle veteran homelessness in Montana. montanarightnow.com/elections/mont…

Toxic-exposure effects aren’t limited to those who served, but currently there is little research on its effects on veterans’ descendants. Chairman Senator Jon Tester’s bipartisan legislation would expand first-of-its-kind research into health conditions faced by veterans’ children.
