Claim Funding.
When a wage and hour claim is pending, the money at issue may be exactly what you are already missing. FCA may review qualifying represented wage and hour claims for case-based legal funding while the matter moves forward.
FCA coordinates directly with your attorney to evaluate the funding request. Your attorney determines the applicable wage laws, alleged violations and damages; FCA does not decide what compensation is legally owed.
Approval, amount, cost, terms and availability depend on the individual claim and jurisdiction.
