Under federal law, you have the right to an interpreter when you use government-funded programs. It is your right to determine which language you prefer to use, regardless of whether you speak, write, or read some English.

Learn more in the article "You have the right to a free interpreter."

If you were denied an interpreter, report it to the Massachusetts Language Access Coalition and we will investigate.
