Legal Plan

West Virginia University, through Fringe Benefits Management Company (FBMC) and Hyatt Legal, offers employees an affordable solution to help with their legal needs. Premiums are deducted from an employee's pay, tax-free.

Hyatt has more than 3,500 law firms in its nationwide network. When employees use a Plan Attorney, covered legal services are provided at no additional attorney fees. If an employee should use a non-Plan Attorney, he/she may be reimbursed for covered services according to a set fee schedule. However, the employee will be responsible for paying the difference between the plan's payment and the attorney's fees. Some items that are covered are listed in the table below.

For more information on this plans including premiums and covered services, please review the 2009 Mountaineer Flexible Benefits Plan or contact the WVU Division of Human Resources Benefits Office.
