Despite Strong Push for Inclusion, Guam Excluded in Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Reauthorization

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On July 4th, President Donald Trump signed his “big beautiful bill” which promises tax breaks and spending cuts. Tucked inside this massive bill, it reauthorizes the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). This version of RECA expands access to new claimants in order to get life saving help after exposure from nuclear testing and uranium mining during the Cold War. However, Guam was not included in the latest version.
