1.	Do you exclude coverage for employment-related issues?

2.	Who can use the plan?
	The plan covers: The employee and spouse Their never-married children up to age 21 living at home Any unmarried dependent children of the named member or spouse under 23 years of age who are full-time college students.

3.	How does a participant access an attorney?
	Members are served by a Provider Law Firm which has been carefully screened and selected by Pre-Paid Legal. To use the plan, members simply call their Provider Law Firm directly at the toll-free number on their membership card when they have a legal question or problem. It's really that simple. Pre-Paid Legal does all the work: No flipping through a yellow-page style catalog for a qualified lawyer; no claim forms, no worries about being able to afford a lawyer--just peace of mind.
4.	How do you propose to market the program to employees?
	At your convenience, a specially-trained representative of Pre-Paid Legal will make an on-site visit and conduct benefits briefings and enrollment sessions with your employees. Enrollment works best if the presentation can be done at mandatory meetings such as a monthly staff meeting. Our representative will hand out information before the presentation to employees and conduct a brief 15-20 minute presentation that includes enrollment.
