Concord, N.H. – N.H. Attorney General John Formella has joined a bipartisan coalition of 44 attorneys general in issuing a letter to congressional leaders expressing support for the passage of legislative proposals included in Governing Unaccredited Representatives Defrauding Veterans Affairs Benefits Act.
In the letter, Attorney General Formella and the coalition explain the passing of the bipartisan legislation would hold unaccredited and unregulated actors accountable for targeting and preying upon veterans who apply for federal VA benefits.
“Shielding our veterans from predators looking to profit off their hard-earned benefits is the least we can do for them. They deserve advocates they can trust to help navigate and understand their choices when filing VA claims,” said Formella. “Unaccredited claims representatives who target and unfairly take advantage of the men and women who put their lives on the line protecting our country must face criminal penalties.”
