Free Legal Answers fielding more questions during the pandemic
Free Legal Answers, a digital clinic that provides civil legal service for low-income Floridians, is feeling the impact of COVID-19.
“Based on the data, we are receiving well over 100 more questions per month compared to last year,” said Francisco-Javier Digon-Greer, assistant director of programs for The Florida Bar.
A contributing factor, Digon-Greer said, is a temporary expansion of income eligibility from 250% of the federal poverty level to 400%, or $51,040 for individuals and $104,080 for a family of four.
