On Aug. 10, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022.
Section 804 of this law is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022, which allows people — including Veterans — previously exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune to file a new claim with the Department of the Navy.
Individuals may seek relief in Federal court for a claim that is denied or no decision is made six (6) months after a claim is filed.
