Veterans from the North Central Michigan College Students Veterans of America, the Petoskey American Legion, and the VFW Emmet County Post 2051 joined for a pre-Veterans Day event. Post 9/11 vets shared a day with a Vietnam vet as he left the local senior center for a trip to a University of Michigan football game.

Please encourage everyone you know to use their PACT act benefits! The more people that use them, the better the program becomes and the more funding it receives. You aren’t taking away from anyone else by using your PACT act benefits, you’re making it better for everyone!

If you’re unsure if you or your family members are eligible for benefits, contact Emmet County VA for free help in navigating this program.

A reminder: If you file your PACT Act claim — or submit your intent to file — by Aug. 9, 2023, you may receive benefits backdated to Aug. 10, 2022. That’s the date when President Biden signed the legislation into law.
There also is a Sept. 30 deadline for some post-9/11 veterans to enroll for VA health care under a special one-year window opened by the PACT Act. The bill automatically assumes those who served in certain locations were exposed. Once they are enrolled, veterans' individual cases will dictate what benefits they will receive.
An accredited American Legion service officer can provide free assistance with this.
