Camp Lejeune water survivors Now Urged to File Claim Before Deadline

The Navy is advising veterans exposed to contaminated water aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to file their claim by the August 10 deadline.

https://131474cd3c3cd782f384b9336a542532.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html

This comes two years after President Biden signed into law the Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act. The legislation included the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which allows those affected by toxic materials at the camp to sue the federal government for compensation.

The PACT Act also provides toxic exposure screenings and follow-up screenings to veterans enrolled in Department of Veterans Affairs health care.

Service members affected by toxic water at Camp Lejeune between Aug. 1, 1953, and Dec. 31, 1987, are eligible to file a claim.
