The LegalShield Plan covers the participant (employee), participant’s spouse, and dependent children under 26 years of age.

As a new hire, you can enroll during your new hire enrollment period. Outside of your new hire enrollment period, enrollment is limited to a qualified life event or the voluntary open enrollment period.

LegalShield will send you a member number and instructions on how to create your account along with contact information for your dedicated provider law firm when your plan becomes effective. You will need this member number to create your LegalShield account on access.legalshield.com. You will be asked to create a username and password.

 

Once you have created your account, you can download the LegalShield mobile app and use your created login credentials to sign in. With LegalShield's mobile app you can schedule a consultation with your provider law firm to discuss your personal legal matter.

The LegalShield mobile app is available for download on both Apple and Android devices. Once downloaded you will be asked to login, to login you will use the account username and password you created when setting up your account at mylegalshield.com.

Pre-existing legal matters are covered if they fall within the scope of covered services and if you have not represented yourself in the matter, the court involved is still within the original jurisdiction and an attorney-client relationship did not already exist prior to enrollment.
