ARAG provides an employee-paid insurance plan to cover basic legal expenses. You are a member if you enrolled in the legal plan during your period of initial eligibility (PIE) or during an Open Enrollment period (if offered).

Note: The plan will be available during the 2010 Open Enrollment. Enroll on At Your Service beginning Thursday, Oct. 29 through 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov.24.

If you use a participating attorney, the plan assists in payment for routine and preventative services such as:
