亚利桑那州：被VetLink欺骗的老兵开始收到赔偿支票，120万美元赔偿金本周起发放
亚利桑那州检察长办公室10月28日表示，被VetLink Solutions公司欺骗的退伍军人本周起开始收到赔偿支票，总额120万美元的赔偿金进入发放阶段。
州检察长此前起诉VetLink Solutions，指控该公司在2019年1月至2024年3月13日期间，向退伍军人收取咨询费用、代为办理退伍军人事务部（VA）伤残索赔，违反了《亚利桑那州消费者欺诈法》。诉讼已于2026年早些时候以同意判决（Consent Judgment）方式了结，该公司须设立120万美元赔偿基金。
此次发放对象为在2026年9月10日截止日期前提交索赔的老兵。检察长办公室提醒，已提交索赔但在14天内仍未收到支票的老兵，可致电和解管理人查询，电话866-880-0070。
检察长办公室同时提醒退伍军人：向退伍军人事务部申请伤残福利本身免费，经认证的退伍军人服务组织可无偿协助办理索赔；任何要求预付费用代办VA索赔的收费行为都应谨慎核实。消费者如遇疑似欺诈，可向州检察长办公室投诉。
Arizona Veterans Deceived by VetLink Solutions Begin Receiving $1.2 Million in Restitution Checks
The Arizona Attorney General's office said on October 28 that veterans deceived by VetLink Solutions will begin receiving restitution checks this week, as a $1.2 million restitution fund moves into distribution.
The attorney general had sued VetLink Solutions, alleging that from January 2019 through March 13, 2024, the company charged veterans consulting fees to help them file U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) disability claims, in violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. The case was resolved earlier in 2026 by a consent judgment requiring the company to fund $1.2 million in restitution.
The payments are going to veterans who filed claims by the September 10, 2026 deadline. The attorney general's office advised claimants who do not receive a check within 14 days to call the settlement administrator at 866-880-0070.
Officials reminded veterans that filing for VA disability benefits is free and that accredited veterans service organizations help with claims at no charge; any offer to prepare VA claims for an upfront fee should be checked carefully. Consumers who suspect fraud can file a complaint with the attorney general's office.
