Legal Services
We offer an optional legal plan that grants you and your family unlimited access to experienced attorneys who are in-network through MetLife Legal Plans. If you choose to elect in coverage for this benefit, a modest premium will be automatically deducted from your pay (after taxes). You can choose an in-network prequalified attorney, or use an out-of-network attorney and be reimbursed some of the cost. All attorney fees are covered as long as the matter is covered under your plan. There are no copays, deductibles, or claim forms when using an in-network attorney for a covered legal matter.
