A West Virgina court will be holding a hearing today on the approval of the H&R Block Rapid Refund Anticipation Loans Settlement Claim. RALs are loans anticipated tax returns from the federal and state government of taxpayers. Many services are reported to offer RALS targeting those individuals who are on the low end of the economical status and are eligible for Earned Income Tax Credits.
If the judge approves the settlement, individuals can claim parts of the $62 million dollars settlement. But once again the poor gets the least amount of dollars while the attorneys get millions.
