Legal Services Program Welcome, I'm Christopher Krimmer, ARCW's director of legal services, and I'd like to invite you to browse the legal services ARCW provides. Often, people with HIV or AIDS do not have access to an attorney when dealing with issues such as confidentiality and return to work issues.
Legal services are available to all clients regardless of eligibility to pay.
However, if a client's total household income exceeds 200 percent of the federal poverty standard, ARCW may request that the client pay for all or a portion of the discovery and court costs associated with his or her representation. The following is a list of the types of matters that ARCW currently provides legal representation. Benefits Planning staff, part of the Legal Services Program, assist with the many steps needed to apply for Social Security Disability, Supplemental Security Income, Interim Disability Insurance program, Medicaid, General Assistance Medical Plan and Health Insurance Risk Sharing Pool. In addition to providing legal representation to persons living with HIV, Legal Services Program is committed to advancing the rights of people with HIV through other avenues. Mediation and Arbitration Services Mediation and Arbitration are two types of several alternatives for dispute resolution.
