DOJ says RECA was reauthorized under Pub. L. 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, and that the program is using amended claimant categories. It lists downwinders and onsite participants exposed through atmospheric nuclear testing as eligible claimant categories, with qualifying downwinders receiving $100,000 and a claim deadline of December 31, 2027.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Within the Sept. 11-13 lookback window, DOJ’s updated RECA page confirms implementation of the 2025 reauthorization and amended eligibility for atmospheric nuclear testing-related downwinders and onsite participants, including Arizona counties such as Mohave.

GovInfo records H.R. 10115 as introduced August 17, 2026, with Greg Stanton listed as an original cosponsor. The bill title is to amend RECA to provide for certain claims related to atmospheric testing, and the action listed is referral to the Judiciary and Energy and Commerce Committees.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Stanton took concrete legislative action after the 2025 RECA reauthorization by cosponsoring a further RECA amendment bill, but the bill remained at the introduced/referred-to-committee stage as of the record, so those additional amendments were not yet enacted.

RECA was reauthorized and amended by Pub. L. 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, during Stanton's current House term. DOJ implementation confirms compensation is available for atmospheric nuclear testing-related claimant categories including downwinders and onsite participants, which matches the promised outcome. Stanton also continued to pursue further RECA amendments as an original cosponsor of H.R. 10115 in August 2026, but that later bill is not necessary to credit the core promise as delivered.
