The New UAW Legal Services Plan is open

A new Legal Services Plan opened on January 25, 2017 for eligible FCA, Ford, and General Motors members. It is called UAW-FCA-Ford-General Motors Legal Services Plan. An eligible member can open a new case by calling 1-800-482-7700. Under this new Plan, an eligible UAW member can receive “office work” legal services for a variety of legal matters including wills, deeds, powers of attorney, credit reporting, consumer contract questions, real estate advice relating to buys and sales and advice on uncontested divorces and family matters. In addition low cost referrals will be provided on some other types of cases such as bankruptcy, probate, guardianship and litigation matters. The old Legal Services Plan (which has not been able to open new cases since January 1, 2014) is continuing to work to conclude those cases that remain open. It is important to understand that the new Legal Services Plan has a new name and different benefits.
