Have you all heard about the 500,000 claims that were just filed for burn pit exposure? Seems like the Biden administration passed it to where if you were exposed, you can now receive benefits.

Just because you file a claim doesn’t mean you will be approved. You have to have one of the medical conditions that they have approved for benefits.

BAH1, sorry to hear that. they've got a long list of conditions posted, worth double checking for sure.

Does anyone know if they will re-examine your entire back file if I were to file for additional benefits due to the burn pit exposure?

I had to have a full reevaluation including spinal damage, headaches, PTSD when adding hormone issues and seizures. I was 100% P&T +SMC at the time (and I still am)

Still going through the PACT Act process, as of now, after 4 trips to Iraq, 1 to Afghan, I’m at 0% for exposure.

If one filed a claim for one of the now covered items, is there backpay if one is 'approved' for a condition?

I heard on the radio that if you file before August 2023, you could get up to a year's back pay.

Yes. Check out the PACT Act for more details.

It isn’t automatic. I was given 0% for breathing issues and the decision letter stated they conceded it was service related from burn pits but denied any disability increase.

I have a governmental entity client in Texas that wants to offer 6 weeks of paid parental leave for all employees, even those who aren’t eligible for FMLA. After the paid 6 weeks, the employee can choose to continue paid leave using any accrued personal leave.

Texas does not have a paid parental leave statute.

If paid leave above what is required is offered for parents, do we also have to provide the same benefit to other employees that are eligible for unpaid leave?
