About 850,000 claims related to the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act were filed in the year since the MOAA-supported law took effect, with over 350,000 of the claims approved.

VA officials discussed progress on implementing the legislation, and ways to improve the process going forward, during a gathering in Boston last month with congressional staff and representatives from veterans service organizations (VSOs), including MOAA.
