Passed in 2022, the PACT Act is the single-largest legislation related to the expansion of benefits for American veterans. PACT is an overall expansion of health care for veterans who have been exposed to chemical, physical, and environmental hazards while they were serving in the line of duty. Because of the fact that many of the conditions that have resulted from this exposure are presumptive, it’s been deduced that the exposure happened while in the line of duty. As such, more veterans are eligible for these benefits than they have been in previous years. 

Now that we’ve just finished honoring veterans with two spectacular holidays, Memorial Day and Independence Day, it’s time to focus on another major concern: veteran employment. This is a tough topic for many veterans because returning to the civilian world, and securing gainful work, isn’t as straightforward as it once was. Sadly, many veterans in Florida don’t have full employment to pay their bills or make use of their talents.

July 25th is National Hire a Veteran Day, and an outstanding way to support former U.S. service members. Since vets often make dependable employees, we believe you’ll find it easy to see why it’s smart to focus on veteran applicants.
