Abstract
On August 10, 2022, the President signed the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022, or the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022 (PACT Act) into law, establishing substantial legislative changes in laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). VA began processing PACT Act-related claims on January 1, 2023, and provided sub-regulatory guidance while it drafts regulations to implement the PACT Act. The sub-regulatory guidance is now being updated to reflect recent policy changes.
