This Memorial Day, we honor the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice, and we stand with the families who carry their legacy forward. In Cook County and across Illinois, the Armed Forces Legal Aid Network (AFLAN) connects military families, veterans, and survivors with free civil legal services. For surviving spouses, children, and parents, navigating Veteran Affairs or Social Security Administration survivor benefits can be overwhelming. We are here to help. Through AFLAN, Legal Aid Chicago ensures survivors secure the benefits they’ve earned, from disability and pension appeals to housing access, healthcare, and financial support. If you or someone you know has lost a loved one in service and needs legal help, please call the AFLAN hotline at 855-452-3526. (fb)
