Law students would help people fight denied health benefits and other employee plan issues.
This bill would create a new grant program to fund law school clinics across the country. These clinics would allow law students, supervised by attorneys, to help people who are struggling to get their employee health benefits. It aims to make it easier for everyday Americans to challenge denied claims and other benefit issues.
Today, there isn't a specific federal grant program to fund law students helping people with denied employee benefits or other related legal issues. If this bill passes, the government would set aside $5,000,000 each year from the government's budget years 2026 through 2030 to fund law school clinics, allowing law students to provide legal help for these issues.
