BATAVIA, NY \u2013 Senator George Borrello will partner with VA Western New York Healthcare System and VFW Post #1602 in Batavia to host a Veteran Outreach and Enrollment Event on Thursday, November 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senator Borrello underscored the importance of our Veterans to gain access to all the benefits they\u2019ve earned through their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur veterans have given more to our country than we could ever repay. In return for their dedicated and selfless military service, our federal and state governments will continue to partner and provide information on access to VA healthcare and monetary compensation to our veterans and their families. Representatives from the VA will be available to answer questions about VA healthcare options and related issues for compensation. This event will be a great resource and one that highly I encourage area veterans and their families to attend and utilize,\u201d said Senator Borrello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senator Borrello also noted that the federal PACT or \u201cPromise to Address Comprehensive Toxics\u201d Act, which took effect in August of 2022, has eliminated previous phased-in timelines for VA health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic substances. VA representatives will answer questions on this new change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outreach event will take place at the Veness-Strollo VFW Post #1602, located at 25 Edwards Street, Batavia, NY 14020. The event is free, and registration is not required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
