Can I convert to an individual plan if my coverage ends?
You can convert your Legal Assistance Plan coverage to an individual plan for 12 months after your coverage ends.
You must pay the full fee in advance of receiving any services.
Contact the Claims Administrator to continue coverage and make the required payment within 31 days of your coverage end date.
What happens if a legal matter is pending when my coverage ends?
Any case that is open and pending when coverage ends will be covered to completion. There is no time limit to complete the legal matter. However, no new legal matters may be started unless you elect to continue the Plan for 12 months on an individual basis. You must pay the full fee in advance of receiving any services.

Is there a time limit on my ongoing, plan-provided, legal representation once my coverage has been terminated?
