VA Voluntary Service NAC Members – We’ve periodically shared information with you related to PACT Act and the landmark expansion of benefits and services that the legislation brings.
As a part of that ongoing communication effort we are providing the following link to a press release regarding the deadline for Veterans who deployed to a combat zone, never enrolled in VA health care, and left active duty between Sept. 11, 2001 and Oct. 1, 2013 who are eligible to enroll directly in VA health care. This special enrollment period gives Veterans who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat zones an opportunity to enroll directly in VA health care without first applying for VA benefits.
