Fca Legal Services
The legal services plan negotiated in the 2015 and 2019 UAW contracts is markedly different from those that ended under the 2011 contracts. While the new Legal Services Plan does not provide litigation services, it does provide “office services” (advice and document preparation) for a range of legal matters. Here are some things you may find helpful as part of your new legal services plan: The Legal Services Plan provides a variety of office legal services such as wills and trusts, deeds, birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, uncontested family matters, contracts for goods and services, name changes, credit reports, residential leases, buying or selling and other uncontested matters related to residential real estate. What if my legal issue is not a covered office matter? For many legal issues that are not covered by the new plan or require judicial activity, plan registration staff can still process a member`s applications. These matters are referred to external private lawyers who provide legal services to plan members at a reduced rate of charge. What legal services or issues are covered by the plan? The plan will provide an “office work” benefit that provides services for the following types of legal matters: Retired UAW/FCA employees and surviving spouses, remember that you have negotiated legal services that are available to you. Services are available to all eligible active members, pensioners and surviving spouses. You can still open legal cases through the UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan Case Intake Division using the procedure below. In addition to clerical work services, the plan provides UAW members and retirees with full representation, including participation in hearings, for Social Security claims, suspensions and terminations. We continue to think of our members and their families during this very difficult time. However, the plan can still serve you by phone and email to discuss your legal issues with a covered office work benefit or a low-cost recommendation. “Clerical work” services include consultation, document preparation, document review, factual and legal research, and correspondence.
The Plan will not be represented in court or litigation. The UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan (the “Plan”) is a program established and operated solely for the purpose of providing Eligible Participants with personal legal services for legal matters arising under the laws of the United States or Canada. The Legal Services Plan is a Taft-Hartley plan created for the purpose of providing “office legal work” (no litigation) and funds transfer services to certain eligible UAW members. It opened its doors on January 25, 2017. Call (800) 482-7700 to request legal services. “I find secretaries and lawyers very polite and very easy to understand. I very rarely waited long, because I understand that I am not the only person who wants to talk to them. They explain everything in simple language and if there is something I do not understand, they will explain it again. They follow the problem until the last moment. I am very pleased with all the service they have rendered us. I congratulate them on their good work.
