Heinrich, Luján Announce DOJ Launch of New Online Portal Providing Compensation for New Mexico Victims of Nuclear Radiation Exposure

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) announced the launch of the new online portal for Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) claims.

Prior to the launch of this online portal, Heinrich, Luján, and the New Mexico Delegation sent an open letter to New Mexico's holders of health care records, birth and death records, tax records, school records and any other necessary records to request their full cooperation in delivering long overdue justice for New Mexicans exposed to radiation.

Heinrich has reintroduced legislation to extend and expand RECA since his first Senate term, starting in 2013.
