Employees will have peace of mind that they will have an experienced professional working for them in the event of an identity breach.
 
Financial Counseling and Tax Benefits Enhancements
Members are entitled to receive personal tax preparation at the discounted rate of $195, including a free review of the prior year’s tax return, and continue to receive income tax planning consultations.

Coverage Information  

The prepaid legal plan provides benefits for pre-paid legal services for employees and eligible dependents. The plan allows participants to select an attorney from those affiliated with the plan in South Florida or select an attorney out of network. 

Please understand that:  

  • If using an affiliated attorney, bills are handled by the insurance company with no deductible or co-payment.
  • If using an out-of-network attorney, employees can be reimbursed for covered services; however, subject to the plan's limitations.  
You should know the following about this ​insurance option: 
  • This insurance is available to benefit-eligible employees, their spouse/domestic partner, and child dependents up to age 26 of the employee or their spouse/domestic partner.
  • This is a group plan, so coverage can be converted when employment ends, but with different plan benefits and rates. Coverage ends on the date of separation/retirement unless it is converted to an individual policy by contacting U.S. Legal Services. 
  • The Family Defender offers a 33% discounted rate off attorney's fees for pre-existing and other non-excluded legal matters.
