Your Rights

As a resident of the United States of America, if you are limited in your ability to speak or understand English, you have the right to receive interpretation assistance when you are in need of services from any organization that receives funding from the national government. These services include, but are not necessarily limited to, most medical services and legal (law enforcement and court system) services. These interpretation services are provided at no cost to you.
