Enrollment
You and your covered family members can enroll in voluntary legal assistance during your initial eligibility period (generally when you first start working) or yearly during Open Enrollment.
If you leave the Company or retire, you can continue your enrollment in legal Assistance by selecting portable enrollment within 30 days of your last day of employment.
Using your benefit
There’s no limit to the number of times you can use the plan, and there are no dollar limits when you use a plan attorney for a covered service. If you use an -out-of-network attorney, you can submit a reimbursement to MetLife Legal; however, you’ll be reimbursed according to a fee schedule, and your entire out-of-pocket cost may not be reimbursed. To get in touch with a plan attorney, log in to the MetLife Legal site or contact MetLife Legal. You’ll be provided with contact information for an attorney specializing in your legal need. Then, you can call to make an appointment.
