How it Works
- Pay for coverage with after-tax payroll deductions.
- University employees, spouses, and eligible children up to age 26 maintaining a U.S. zip code can be covered.
- Parents Plus services - specific to parents, step-parents, parents-in-law, and grandparents maintaining a U.S. zip code (up to 8 people) - are included in the plan.
- Connect with an attorney via phone, chat, email, or online.
- You can choose which attorney to use from the MetLife network of 18,000 qualified attorneys, or use an attorney outside of the network and be reimbursed for some of the cost.
- Unlimited access to attorneys for all legal matters covered under the plan, even if you have several legal needs happening at the same time.
- Legal services typically cover a wide range of legal matters such as: wills and estate planning, buying or selling a home, debt collection, traffic tickets, family law and more.
- Some exclusions may apply, including employment related matters or matters for which an attorney-client relationship exists prior to becoming eligible for the plan. For specific details, please refer to the MetLife Plan Fact Sheet or FAQs.
- If an employee retires or is terminated while maintaining the Legal Services benefit, the employee needs to continue coverage by logging in to their MetLife account and providing alternate payment information. See more at Continuation of Coverage.
