WASHINGTON, DC — The VA had received over 700,000 PACT Act-related claims as of last month, testing the department’s processing capacity and threatening to significantly increase the existing backlog of claims.

WASHINGTON — Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) today introduced bicameral legislation to require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to take necessary steps when placing an unaccompanied alien child with a potential sponsor inside the United States, especially as recent reports show HHS has been unable to contact 85,000 children in the past two years.
