Arizona veterans to receive settlement from overcharged VA claims

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 19:15 · Archive

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that veterans misled by Vetlink Solutions will receive restitution checks from a $1.2 million settlement.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced that veterans who filed claims against Vetlink Solutions will begin receiving restitution checks from a $1.2 million settlement fund. The company allegedly misled veterans by falsely promising to guide them through the Department of Veterans Affairs benefits process and boost their benefits. Vetlink is accused of illegally charging disabled veterans fees to file VA disability claims, despite lacking accreditation to do so.

The settlement covers veterans who paid Vetlink Solutions for help with a disability claim between January 2019 and March 13, 2024, and who filed a claim form by 10 September. Checks are expected to be sent this week. Veterans who do not receive their payment within 14 days should contact the Settlement Administrator at 866-880-0070 or email info@azagvetlinksettlement.com.

Attorney General Mayes said in a statement that veterans deserve 'trusted assistance, not deceptive sales tactics' and that her office would 'continue to hold accountable anyone who tries to take advantage of Arizona veterans'.
