Greetings,
We hope you had a great week! Congressman Kim enjoyed traveling around the district speaking with local organizations and businesses. As the week finishes up, so does Hispanic Heritage Month. Our office was proud to help celebrate the contributions of our Hispanic American community in Jersey this past month and will continue our work to support and uplift our diverse communities.
As always, we hope you find the following updates and resources helpful.
Congressman Kim Hosts PACT Act Webinar for Veterans and their Families
Last Friday, Congressman Kim hosted a webinar on the PACT Act’s expansion of veteran benefits and what veterans and their families should know about how it could impact their benefits. The PACT Act expands access to healthcare for millions of veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service.
Earlier this year, Congressman Kim voted to pass the PACT Act which was then signed into law this August.
Our office was proud to partner with the Crescenz VA Medical Center to host the webinar. If you missed the webinar live, watch the full conversation here.
