Legal Services Benefit

Eligibility

Your eligibility to participate in the Local 60 Legal Services Benefit Plan is based on your eligibility to participate in the Local 60 Health & Welfare Plan. This means your initial and continuing eligibility, as well as the eligibility of any dependents, are determined under the rules described in the description of the Health & Welfare Plan, provided that your employer is also obligated to contribute to the Local 60 Legal Services Benefit Fund on your behalf.

Please note: Eligibility for Legal Service Benefits is not included in the Local 60 Health & Welfare COBRA Plans.

HOW TO OBTAIN LEGAL REPRESENTATION

If you are an eligible participant of the Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy and Highway Laborers Local 60 Legal Services Fund and you are in need of legal assistance, you should call or write the Administrator of the Legal Services Fund at (914) 769-2440, 140 Broadway, Hawthorne, New York 10532, and request an application for Legal Service Benefits. If you meet the eligibility requirements of the Plan, an appointment will be made for you to discuss your legal problems with a Plan Attorney.
