We had so much fun at our Emerging Leader’s Quizzo Night last week, thanks to you! Our incredible panelists shared how PLA and @mannanourishes are working to improve community health, and then we had a blast playing legal aid quizzo. Special thanks to MANNA for hosting us. Are you a passionate, young changemaker interested in creating a more just Philadelphia?

This year, PLA is reflecting on 25 years of centering community and paving a path towards justice. In 2019, we hired our first social worker to holistically support our clients beyond their legal needs. We sat down with our Social Worker Elizabeth (Liz) Delus to learn more about how social work helps PLA address client needs and get Philadelphians the support they need. Read our new blog post with Liz to learn more about the intersection of social services and legal aid here: bit.ly/PLASocialWork#plaj4j #philadelphia #LegalAssistance #legalaid #socialwork … See MoreSee Less

A lot of people might receive a smaller refund than they claimed on their tax returns this year. That could happen if a person’s 2021 tax return claimed stimulus payments that the IRS thinks it already paid last year. It could happen for other reasons, too.If the IRS denies some amount of stimulus payments claimed on a tax return, they’ll send a notice giving 60 days to dispute the denial. Those notices can be really hard to understand because the IRS doesn’t say what it is doing in plain language.We may be able to help you figure out if you should dispute the denial or if the IRS is correct. If you got some other notice from the IRS that you want help with, contact us to see if we can help!
