Service Members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) | Veteran Education

Texas Veterans Legal Aid Week (November 6-10, 2023) is an annual celebration of our services to Veterans. For this year’s video series, Staff Attorney Lori Fergie of our Military & Veterans Unit is presenting on the service members civil relief act (SCRA). Texas has the second-highest population of veterans in the nation. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ annual survey of homeless and formerly homeless Veterans, legal issues account for five of the top 10 unmet needs of homeless Veterans. Obtaining access to free legal services can be critical for veterans to get the benefits and support they need for themselves and their families. The Texas Access to Justice Foundation provides funding to nonprofit organizations that provide free legal services to Veterans. Each year, legal aid organizations provide free legal services to more than 8,000 Texas Veterans. Legal aid organizations and pro bono lawyers can provide legal representation to Veterans with civil legal problems, including: Denial of critical medical care Problems receiving benefits Legal issues related to disabilities Family law matters arising from deployment Other issues that may arise due to a veteran’s absence from home during military service For information on veteran-specific legal assistance: 📞 Call toll-free, Monday through Friday, 8am-4pm 1-844-400-VETS (8387) ✉️ Email VetHelp@LoneStarLegal.org 🌐 Visit www.lonestarlegal.org DISCLAIMER: This presentation is intended to serve as legal information and does not replace legal advice. ► Subscribe and hit the bell to see new videos:    / lstarlegal   ► Check out our website: https://www.lonestarlegal.org About Lone Star Legal Aid Lone Star Legal Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit law firm focused on advocacy for low-income and underserved populations.
