Oregon veterans who paid Trajector Medical for assistance obtaining or increasing their VA disability benefits have until November 30, 2026, to submit claims for money they believe the company owes them in its federal bankruptcy proceedings.
Attorney General Dan Rayfield is urging affected veterans to review their payments and file potential claims before the extended deadline. The announcement includes Southern Oregon veterans who purchased services from Trajector Medical or its predecessor, Vet Comp & Pen Medical Consulting.
Trajector Medical, its parent company Trajector Holdings and affiliated businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 23, 2026. Twenty-two debtor companies are included in proceedings being jointly administered in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division.
The court extended the filing deadline for military veterans to November 30 after the October 31 deadline for consumers generally. Veterans who have not submitted claims could lose the opportunity to receive a share of any bankruptcy distribution if they miss the extended deadline.
Potential claims involve payments for services connected with obtaining VA disability compensation or increasing existing benefit awards. Veterans who previously dealt with the company under the Vet Comp & Pen Medical Consulting name may also have claims.
For affected households in Josephine, Jackson, Douglas and Klamath counties, the proceedings offer an opportunity to seek recovery of money paid to the company. The available information does not establish how many Southern Oregon veterans purchased its services or the total amount they paid.
Repayment remains uncertain. Claims are subject to review, and any distribution will depend on the outcome of the bankruptcy. No payment amount or reimbursement schedule has been established in the information accompanying the deadline announcement.
Filing a claim against Trajector does not, by itself, reduce or cancel a veteran’s VA disability compensation. It does not request a change to an existing disability rating or benefits award.
Oregon is among 14 states participating in the bankruptcy proceedings. The other states are Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
The case comes amid state and federal concerns about charges for veterans’ benefits assistance. Rayfield’s announcement identified Trajector’s charges for help obtaining or increasing disability benefits as conduct that may violate federal and state law.
Federal rules restrict who may charge for representing veterans in VA benefits matters and when those charges are permitted. VA-accredited Veterans Service Organization representatives provide benefits assistance without charge. Accredited attorneys and claims agents may charge for qualifying representation after an initial VA decision, subject to federal requirements.
Oregon enacted additional protections through Senate Bill 150 in 2025. The law prohibits compensation for specified services connected with veterans’ benefits claims except as permitted by federal or state law. It also prohibits unreasonable fees and makes violations unlawful practices under Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act.
The legislation directs the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs to conduct outreach about free benefits assistance available through county and Tribal veterans service offices.
Veterans submitting bankruptcy claims should identify the Trajector company involved, state the amount they believe they are owed and include supporting records. Contracts, invoices, receipts, payment records and correspondence can document the services purchased and the money paid.
Electronic claims can be submitted through the Trajector bankruptcy case website maintained by Verita, the court-authorized claims administrator. The site also provides information about paper submissions. Veterans should retain copies of their financial records and claim documents.
Questions about the submission process can be directed to Verita at 888-249-2695. The proceedings are jointly administered under case number 3:26-bk-03286-JAB.
Southern Oregon veterans seeking assistance with VA disability applications or benefits reviews can obtain free services through county veterans service offices and accredited Veterans Service Organization representatives. Oregon’s county and Tribal network provides assistance to veterans and their families throughout the state.
The extended bankruptcy filing deadline is Monday, November 30.
