Expanded RECA Program Applications Launched

The application forms for the newly expanded Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) program are now live on the Department of Justice's RECA website.

No Diné should be paying for claims assistance, as the Navajo Nation has programs and advocates to support victims seeking to file a claim.
