PACT Act and Toxic Exposure Information
With the passing of the PACT Act, as a veteran you may have a lot of questions. As we wait for VA to interpret the new law and how it will impact veterans, the below information has been gathered to help you navigate the path forward.
To contact your local VFW Accredited Service Officer for additional questions or claims assistance, click here.
If you’ve already met with a VFW-Accredited Service Officer and determined pursuing a Camp Lejeune lawsuit is right for you, contact a VFW-entrusted law firm today.

VFW Podcasts
The VFW Podcast is a new show for veterans, by veterans. It airs the first and third Wednesday of each month.
The VFW Podcast is our newest communication platform that will highlight critical issues, challenges and legislation affecting veterans, service members and military families worldwide.
Join us as we chat with congressional leadership, Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs senior officials, and everyday veterans as we tackle tough issues affecting our military veteran community.
To listen to the VFW Podcasts, please click on any of the following streaming service icons below, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Our National VFW organization is working hard to protect those benefits and entitlements that we have earned through our military service to our nation. To make this program successful, we need as many of you as possible to participate and get involved as a "Veterans Advocate." The purpose of this program is to inform our members of the issues so we can take action by contacting (writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls, attending town hall meetings, etc.) our legislators on issues affecting veterans, active duty service members and our families. Our elected officials need to hear from us. If they don't, they will assume that it isn't important to us, make the decisions for us, and we will have to live with the consequences.
