Take Advantage of Your Legal Services Benefit

If you are a State employee in the General Government Unit, you can consult an attorney to discuss most common legal questions, and we will pay for it—up to $2,500 per year!

For example, have you been putting off making or updating your will?  Are you thinking of starting a trust fund for your children? Are you:

  • About to get married or divorced?
  • Buying or selling a home?
  • Dealing with a difficult landlord or neighbor?
  • Facing adoption or custody issues?

If you are a current State of Alaska employee in the General Government Unit and answered “yes” to any of these questions, we can help.

We will pay up to $250 per hour to the qualified attorney of your choice so that you can get the advice you need on covered legal matters like these. There is no deductible, no co-payment, and your eligible dependents can use the benefit, too!

How can we provide this service? Simple: As a State of Alaska employee represented by ASEA, this valuable benefit was made possible by your union who worked hard to negotiate for it, on your behalf, through the collective bargaining process. You owe it to yourself and your family to take advantage of this valuable benefit.

ASEA/AFSCME Local 52, the ASEA Legal Services Trust Fund and its Trustees obtain no profit from the operation of the Plan or from the performance of legal services by attorneys under this Plan. The Plan’s only purpose is to promote the well-being and peace of mind of our participants, their dependents, and/or their designated beneficiaries.
