Dear John, Last night, Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough announced an extension of the deadline for veterans to file for backdated benefits to Monday, August 14. Veterans can file by visiting VA.gov/PACT or calling 1-800-827-1000. File your PACT Act Claim now! Last week, I had the chance to talk to FOX LA about my leadership of the PACT Act and the upcoming deadline. You can watch the full interview here. If you have any questions about the filing process or if you qualify for PACT Act benefits, please reach out to my office for assistance by calling 951-222-0203. As always, please stay in touch regarding issues that concern you and your family. Sincerely, Mark Takano Member of Congress ‌ ‌ ‌ Rep.
