Bill overview
The TEAM Act of 2020 aims to improve healthcare and benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances. It requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide consultation, testing, and treatment to veterans who received hazardous duty pay or were exposed to toxic substances like burn pits and herbicides. The bill also establishes a commission to review exposure risks and strengthens presumptions of service connection for diseases linked to toxic exposure. Finally, it seeks to improve VA resources and provide veterans with access to their individual exposure records.
