We’ve corrected the date the law was signed to Dec. 16, 2014.
Veterans and their families who lived at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between Aug. 1, 1953 and Dec. 31, 1987 may be eligible for VA health benefits. A Dec. 16, 2014 law changed the eligibility date from Jan. 1, 1957 to Aug. 1, 1953.
Veterans: Enroll online or call 1-877-222-8387 for help.
Family members: You may be eligible for reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses for 15 conditions. Apply online or call 1-866-372-1144 for help.

I have had kidney cancer and infertility issues, but i was there in 1994. Are there any talks of expanding the date range?
Hi Denise, Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I don’t know if you have heard or not but PACT ACT 2022 has expanded eligibility for all veterans suffering from toxic military exposures.
