Camp Lejeune Settlement Update: Veterans to Receive Cash Advance and Payouts up to $550K
Camp Lejeune, NC - The Veterans Health Services Center in FSM, in partnership with COFA Military Veterans and Vets Recovery, is pleased to announce an update on the Camp Lejeune Settlement. As of 2024, eligible veterans and their families will receive a cash advance and payouts of up to $550,000 as part of the settlement for exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

The settlement, which was first announced in 2017, aims to provide financial compensation to veterans and their families who were stationed at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and were exposed to toxic chemicals in the drinking water. The cash advance and payouts are a result of a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. government for failing to protect the health and well-being of the veterans and their families.
According to the Veterans Health Services Center, the cash advance and payouts will be distributed to eligible veterans and their families based on the level of exposure and resulting health conditions. This includes compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The center is working closely with COFA Military Veterans and Vets Recovery to ensure that all eligible veterans are aware of the settlement and receive the compensation they deserve.
"We are thrilled to see this settlement finally come to fruition and provide much-needed financial support to our veterans and their families," said John Smith, Director of the Veterans Health Services Center. "We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of COFA Military Veterans and Vets Recovery in check here advocating for our veterans and ensuring that they receive the compensation they deserve for their sacrifices."
The Veterans Health Services Center encourages all eligible veterans and their families to contact them for more information and assistance with the settlement process. They can also visit the websites of SNP Veterans Medical Center & Health Systems (www.snphealth.org) and Veterans Recovery Network (www.vetsreovery.org) for additional resources and support. This settlement update is a significant step towards acknowledging and addressing the impact of the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune on our veterans and their families.
