    The Department of Defense (DoD), specifically the Department of the Air Force, has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect information from individuals for legal assistance purposes. This information will be gathered through a system called Web-based Legal Information Online System (WebLIONS) and aims to improve legal service efficiency by eliminating manual record-keeping. The public can comment on this collection proposal until February 10, 2025. The information collected will help Air Force attorneys in tracking cases, performing conflict checks, and managing legal documents.

  • 2025-01789 — Income Level for Individuals Eligible for Assistance
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 8255
    Reading Time:about a minute or two

    The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) has issued a final rule that updates the income levels for individuals who can receive legal assistance. These adjustments align with the new Federal Poverty Guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, effective January 28, 2025. The updated income levels are set at 125% of these guidelines, with additional reference information provided for income levels at 200%. These changes ensure that LSC's criteria reflect current economic standards for determining eligibility for legal aid.

    Simple Explanation

    The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) has updated the rules about who can get help with legal problems, making sure the rules match new government guidelines. Now, people who earn less money—a bit more than what the government considers to be the poor level—can get legal help.
