Exceptions
Even though you may be
eligible for legal services, there are some limitations on when you can use
Plan Counsel if a conflict of interest exists. These limitations are:
- In
disputes between an eligible employee and spouse, or dependent on covered
matters. Plan Counsel cannot represent both sides in a dispute because
that would create a conflict of interest. Plan Counsel can represent only
the covered employee.
- In
disputes between eligible employees and/or retirees on covered matters,
they may decide who will utilize Plan Counsel. The other eligible
individual will be required to utilize alternate counsel selected and paid
for by the Fund. Services will be rendered under the same terms and
conditions as described in this Plan.
- If your
spouse or dependent child has an ongoing case and ceases to be eligible
for coverage, you are to notify Plan Counsel or the fund coordinator of
that fact. This prevents your account from being charged for these hours.
- If your
employment with the Board of Education is terminated, your benefits for
legal services will cease the day immediately following the date of
termination.
- The
Trustee shall have the right for good cause, to suspend or terminate a
participant’s eligibility.
