- Eligibility: All new employer groups and their
employees are eligible from the date of their first enrollment.
o Grandfather Clause: Legal Club members of cases that are grandfathered
in will receive credit toward their paid up period immediately following
a planned re-enrollment.
o A contact person from each case that is grandfathered in must sign a Paid-up
Premium Provision notification letter. This form serves to notify
the employer of his or her employee’s rights under this provision
and further identifies for the employer the rules they must follow for
their employees to remain eligible.
o Employers must grant Legal Club at least one annual re-enrollment for
their employees to remain eligible for the Paid-up provision.
o Employers must agree to maintain a payroll slot for the six (6) years
required to meet the Paid-up provision. In the event an employer replaces
our plan with another program it will still be required for them to maintain
the existing payroll slot for their employees that wish to keep their plan.
If an employer refuses to do so, their employee’s eligibility will
be terminated. If the employee wishes, they can pay for their Family Legal
Plan through an alternative payment method and maintain their individual
eligibility.
o Employees that leave their place of work can continue to make payments
through an alternative payment methodology so that they can qualify for
the Paid-up provision.

Changes to the existing Paid-up plan provision:
Lifetime membership provides members with access to
Legal Club plan attorneys that will abide by the then
current fee schedule. In the event a plan attorney
no longer participates in the Legal Club network, they
will then no longer be obligated to provide services
under the plan. Legal Club of America maintains the
right to change the terms and conditions of the lifetime
membership at any time by providing information to
the public through its web site www.legalclub.com.
-
Family Legal Plan: The Paid-up Provision only
encompasses the Legal Club of America Family Legal
Plan (or products specifically administered by
LCOA) and does not include additional bundled products (i.e.,
riders/enhancements) unless otherwise notified.
-
Benefits of Program: Upon receipt of six years
worth of Legal Club’s Family Legal Club plan
fees, a member is then provided lifetime access to
the Company’s legal referral service. Fee schedule
and benefits may change over time. In the event there
is a change to the plan, Legal Club will post any such
changes to its web site.
- Refunds: In the event Legal Club receives more
than the required amount of membership fees, they will
refund such portion to the member.
o There will not be refunds if Legal Club grandfathers an account
and someone within the company has already qualified for the six (6)
year program and has paid more than the six year’s worth of premium.
In this case the employee/member will immediately receive full credit
towards their lifetime membership and not be required to make any further
payments.
