How do I get an interpreter?

If you need an interpreter, ask for one.  You can say,

“I speak ­­­­­__________. I need an interpreter.”  Or, you can show the program staff a flier in Spanish, Portuguese, Vietnamese, or Haitian Creole to ask for help. Or, use this poster to show the staff the language you speak. They should give you a free interpreter.

They must not:

• Make you pay for an interpreter,
• Ask you to bring your own interpreter, or
• Send you away because you do not speak English. They must help you the same day.
