Eligibility
As a full-time faculty, staff, or LIUNA bargaining unit member, you can participate in a voluntary benefits program to purchase a discounted legal services plan. You can enroll at hire or during annual enrollment. You are eligible to enroll in the plan for yourself and, for some cases, your eligible dependents. Eligible dependents include your lawful spouse and your unmarried child (or children) up to the age of 25 provided they depend on you for support.
About the Program
The MetLife Legal Plan gives you access to a nationwide network of more than 12,000 attorneys, to help you and your dependents with vital legal matters such as:
- Estate planning: preparation of wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, living wills, living trusts, deeds, and powers of attorney
- Financial: creditor issues, debt collection defense, identity theft defense, identity restoration services, tax audits, and the purchase, sale, and refinancing of a home
- Support with reproductive issues
You can receive a consultation over the phone or in person. Most people pay upwards of hundreds of dollars an hour for legal services like these. But full-time employees can elect this benefit for $15.00 per month.
How to Enroll
Additional plan details can be found on the Johns Hopkins University Voluntary Benefits website at www.jhuvoluntarybenefits.com. Enrollment is completed online through myChoices Health & Life.
