The San Bernardino Vet center and the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino have formed a partnership to help Veterans address civil legal problems that can affect health and well-being. There are no income limits and the veterans can be facing legal issues in any County in Southern California.
In order to link Veterans to the Legal-Medical Clinic have them call the San Bernardino Vet Center at (909) 801-5762 and request to be referred to the Legal-Medical Clinic. The Legal-Medical clinic will decide eligibility.
Some of the legal issues they can help Veterans address are:
- Benefits: appeal denials of food stamps, health insurance, cash benefits, and disability benefits.
- Housing: secure housing subsidies; improve substandard conditions; prevent evictions; protect against utility shut-off.
- Education & Employment: Secure specialized education services, prevent and remedy employment discrimination and enforce workplace rights.
- Veterans & Immigration: Resolve veteran discharge status, clear criminal/credit histories; assist with asylum applications.
- Family Law: Secure restraining orders for domestic violence; secure adoption, custody and guardianship for children.
