Eligibility

Alaska Legal Services Corporation provides free legal services to eligible clients determined by income eligibility and case eligibility. Alaskans over the age of 60 are exempt from financial eligibility guidelines, however priority is given to those seniors with greatest social or economic need.

Income Eligibility

There are a number of factors considered when we make a decision about income eligibility. Generally, you will be eligible if your income does not exceed 125% of the Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for Alaska. Depending on your situation, you might be eligible to receive services even if your income is higher than these guidelines:

Household Size Yearly Monthly Weekly
1 $22,763 $1,897 $438
2 $30,800 $2,567 $592
3 $38,838 $3,236 $747
4 $46,875 $3,906 $901
5 $54,913 $4,576 $1,056
6 $62,950 $5,246 $1,211
7 $70,988 $5,916 $1,365
8 $79,025 $6,585 $1,520
Each additional $8,037 $670 $155

Case Eligibility

In addition to income eligibility, application acceptance is based on whether there is a conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest occurs when ALSC has previously or currently represents someone who is connected with your case. After receiving an application, we review our records to see if there are any conflicts. If a conflict of interest exists, we will contact the applicant as soon as possible to inform them that we cannot offer representation or legal advice. ALSC will try to refer the applicant to an agency or organization that might be able to help them.

Another determining factor is based on our Office Priorities. ALSC has limited resources and cannot accept all applicants. Our case acceptance decisions are guided by priorities established by each office and approved by our governing board. A copy of our priorities and case acceptance policy is available upon request.

If you have questions about eligibility, please contact the nearest Alaska Legal Services Corporation office.

Alaska Legal Services Corporation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides high quality free civil legal services to low-income Alaskans in need. Since 1967, ALSC's services have reached thousands of Alaskans and their communities to protect their safety, their health and promote family stability.
