Navy Announces Updated Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claims Management Portal
WASHINGTON – The Department of the Navy recently launched the Camp Lejeune Justice Act Claims Management Portal, an improved and user-friendly online tool that continues to simplify and streamline the process for claims filed under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022.

On August 10, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022.
Section 804 of this law is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act (CLJA) of 2022, which allows people — including Veterans — previously exposed to contaminated water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to file a new claim with the Department of the Navy.
Individuals may seek relief in Federal court for a claim that is denied, or no decision is made six (6) months after a claim is filed.
Following are links to additional information to help you file a claim and better understand the CLJA claims process:
If you suspect a fraudulent attempt to contact you, please review the following:
1. The Justice Department and the Navy will never request money or payment from you.
2. If an attorney is representing you, direct all inquiries to your attorney for verification. The Justice Department and Navy will not contact you directly and will only contact you through your attorney.
3. Emails from the Navy will be sent from the us.navy.mil domain. You may forward any email you receive to that address to verify authenticity.
4. If you receive a phone call claiming to be from the CLCU or offering assistance with your claim, and you are uncertain, ask for the person’s name and position, then call the CLCU at (757) 241-6020 or email us at CLClaims@us.navy.mil to verify.
5. Steps to take if you believe your personal information has been compromised can be found here. Please report fraudulent activity here.
