Camp Lejeune Lawsuit Funding for Veterans and Families
• 2 min read
Camp Lejeune water contamination claims under the 2022 Honoring Our PACT Act are working through federal court. Pre-settlement funding bridges the long wait.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 opened federal court to thousands of veterans and family members exposed to contaminated water at the Marine Corps base between 1953 and 1987. The Eastern District of North Carolina has a multi-year backlog of claims.
Most CLJA claimants face severe health conditions — cancers, Parkinson's, kidney disease — that produce substantial medical and living expenses while the litigation works through administrative review and court proceedings.
AARC provides pre-settlement funding on qualifying Camp Lejeune claims with no credit check and no monthly payments. Repayment only happens if the case recovers.
Underwriting focuses on documented exposure (residency or service records at Lejeune during the qualifying period), diagnosis of a covered condition, and attorney representation.
Because CLJA cases can take 18 months or longer to resolve, funding lets claimants stay current on rent, medical co-pays, and lost wages during the wait.

Frequently asked questions
- What can I spend the advance on?
- There are no restrictions. Claimants commonly use funds for rent, groceries, utilities, transportation, childcare, and medical co-pays while their case is pending.
- Is a pre-settlement cash advance a loan?
- No. It is non-recourse funding tied to your personal injury claim. There are no monthly payments, and if your case does not recover, you owe nothing.
- Do I need good credit or a job to qualify?
- No. AARC does not run a credit check and does not require employment or income verification. Approval is based on the strength of your claim and your attorney's representation.
- How fast can I get funded?
- Most approved applicants receive funds in as little as 24 hours once AARC has the case documents from your attorney.
- How much does it cost?
- AARC uses a flat fee rather than compounding monthly interest. Typical advances are $500, $750, or $1,000, and the illustrative payoff at settlement is 2x the advance amount.
