To file a Camp Lejeune water contamination claim, you must have spent 30 consecutive days or longer at the military base
According to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, only people who spent at least 30 consecutive days at the military base are entitled to financial compensation from the government. This is one of the most important eligibility criteria to keep in mind if you intend to file a claim, whether you are a Veteran Marine, a family member of one, or a civilian. The reason why you must have lived at Camp Lejeune for 30 consecutive days or longer to be able to file a claim is that your exposure to contaminated drinking water must be significant, and any exposure that occurred for a shorter time is usually not enough for you to develop a related disease.
It is important to know that this is only one of the multiple eligibility requirements your case must meet to make you entitled to financial compensation under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act. Besides spending at least 30 consecutive days at the military base, you must have also been discharged from the military other than dishonorably if you are a veteran, and you must have a qualifying diagnosis. A qualifying diagnosis is one that has a strong connection with exposure to the harmful chemicals that lurked in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune between August 1, 1953, and December 31, 1987.
