At For All Counseling, we are founded on the principle that financial barriers should never prevent an individual from accessing essential mental health<\/b> support during their immigration or asylum process. We recognize that many of our clients navigate profound hardships, and we are committed to providing affordable, high-quality evaluations through our sliding fee and “Pay What You Can” programs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

About Our Sliding Fee Program<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We believe that a reduced fee should never mean a reduction in quality.<\/strong> Our sliding scale is an objective, formula-based system designed to remove bias and ensure every client is treated with the same level of integrity. By using a structured percentage-based calculation against our standard evaluation rate, we provide a transparent and predictable path for both clients and legal professionals to plan for the evaluation process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To determine your eligibility and personalized fee, we utilize a transparent, formula-based sliding scale system. This framework is designed to ensure our evaluations remain accessible to individuals and families across all income levels. By adjusting costs based on financial capacity, we ensure that those with limited resources pay a proportionally smaller fee while maintaining a sustainable, high-quality service for everyone in our community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Household Size<\/h4>

We assess the total number of individuals residing in your home, including yourself, a spouse or partner, dependent children, and any others you financially support. This number is compared to the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines<\/b> established by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Because these guidelines are updated annually and vary by family size, this step ensures your fee is based on your specific family needs and responsibilities.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Annual Income<\/h4>

We consider your total gross annual household income from all sources before taxes are deducted. To account for the actual cost of living in our region, we multiply the standard Federal Poverty Guideline by 225% to create a localized \"income benchmark.\" This adjustment provides a more realistic and equitable threshold, ensuring that our sliding scale reflects the true economic circumstances faced by families.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Percentage<\/h4>

Your total gross annual income is divided by your localized income benchmark to determine your \"income percentage.\" This number represents where your household falls relative to the adjusted poverty threshold. For example, if your adjusted benchmark is $50,000 and your actual annual income is $25,000, your income percentage is 50%. This percentage serves as the fair, objective basis for calculating your personalized reduction in fees.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Final Calculation<\/h4>

Finally, your income percentage is applied to our standard base evaluation fee of $1,000 to determine your final cost. The lower your percentage, the more significant your fee reduction will be. For instance, a 50% income level results in a $500 fee. While we maintain a minimum fee to support client engagement in the process, this formula ensures that every individual pays a rate that is truly proportionate to their financial capacity.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
