Indiana SB0231 prohibits receiving compensation for assisting veterans in obtaining benefits.

Indiana SB0231 amends the Indiana Code to prohibit individuals from receiving compensation for assisting a person in obtaining veterans' benefits. This includes preparing, presenting, or prosecuting claims, as well as advising, consulting, or assisting regarding veterans' benefits matters. The bill mandates written agreements for such services, including disclosures that the business is not affiliated with federal veterans' service organizations. It also prohibits collecting fees after benefits are received if the service was provided before the issuance of benefits.
