A 4675 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Directs Commissioner of the Department of Veterans Affairs to enter into agreements to provide certain legal services to certain disabled veterans.

This bill directs the New Jersey Department of Veterans Affairs to partner with law firms to provide free federal appellate legal services to eligible disabled veterans seeking disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The program would be open to veterans with a net worth under $2 million and would require law firms to specialize in veteran benefits law, have at least ten years of experience in this area, and maintain physical offices across northern, central, and southern New Jersey. Eligible veterans could request representation through their next-of-kin, friends, or fellow veterans, and the state would require participating firms to submit periodic reports on their services.
