Illinois Attorney General's Office Releases Guide Outlining Rights Of Service Members And Veterans

Office of the Illinois Attorney General

The Illinois Attorney General’s office recently released a guide outlining the rights of Illinois veterans and current members of the military.  Attorney General Lisa Madigan says it details a variety of provisions designed to assist them.  

"There's some different issues about their credit and what happens when someone's a victim of identity theft," she says.  "There are a lot of rights and benefits that service members and veterans have.  It's hard to figure them out.  That's why we tried to put them in one place."  

The guide is an update of an earlier version, taking into account recent changes to state law.  It's available at the Attorney General'swebsite.
