Support law against veterans claims charges
The Illinois Senate has approved SB 3479, the Veterans Claim Shark Act, which provides a penalty for those not accredited veterans service officers who charge for their services. The bill now goes to the Illinois House, where it currently sits in the Rules Committee for assignment. Please contact your state representative and urge support and passage of this important bill for veterans and their families.
Illinois is one of five states that have introduced or passed legislation, and we are hopeful of it becoming a federal law in the future. The process of claim is provided free by state, county and accredited veteran service organization representatives.
