How can Legal Aid help a Veteran facing issues with money, housing, family, health or employment?

Are you a low-income U.S. Veteran facing problems with:

Money?

• Have your veteran’s benefits been terminated or reduced due to overpayment?
• Have you been denied or terminated from other government benefits? (e.g. Food Stamps, cash assistance, SSI, Unemployment Compensation)
• Do you have debts that cause problems with meeting your needs, for example obtaining utilities, driver’s license, or housing?
• Have you received any letters or notices from the IRS about your federal taxes?

Housing? 

• Have you applied for and been denied a subsidy to help pay for housing?
• Is your rent subsidy being terminated?
• Does your apartment need repairs that your landlord refuses to make?
• Has your landlord given you a notice to leave your apartment or are you being evicted?
• Are you behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure?
• Did you receive a shut off notice for your lights, gas, or water?

Family?

• Are you afraid for your safety because of your current or former significant other or household member?
• Are you afraid for your child’s safety?
• Do you have problems paying child support?
• Does your child have problems in school with learning or with behavior?
• Do you have trouble accessing health care?

Health?

• Do you have trouble filling your prescriptions for medication?
