Advice on Government Programs

There are hundreds of government programs, and each one has its own set of procedures and policies that have to be followed in order to get service. Programs like Social Security, Veterans Affairs, or even those that should be less complicated like the Bureau of Motor Vehicles require a frightening number of forms and requirements. The fine print and complicated language make for very tired eyes and a sense of hopelessness for those who need government service. There is a lot of bureaucratic red tape that can easily be cut through with the assistance offered by a group legal plan.

An employee paid benefit like our Personal Legal Protector Plan gives members access to a network of highly qualified attorneys. As part of what a Countrywide group legal plan provides, these lawyers can offer expert advice on all the various government programs and the benefits that pertain directly to you. They can go over what appear to be very complicated instructions, and explain what are the best ways to apply for various government services. What seems to be a maze of legal terms becomes clearer as the attorneys associated with the group legal plan describe the details step-by-step. Any employee paid benefit ought to have superior customer service. All of the advice is therefore given with sincere empathy and understanding of a member’s situation. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services expects such member friendly assistance from all of the attorneys in our network, and we select for our group legal plans only those who have demonstrated superior personal skills.

Government agencies come in different categories: federal, state, and local administration. Each level addresses even the smallest matters in the greatest detail and that can be maddening. This is made even worse when for the proverbial “lack of a horseshoe nail” one element of an application is forgotten, and the whole process has to be started once again. The attorneys in the Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services network understand such frustration. They patiently provide insight at every level of government, working to be sure that you are not accidentally tripped up by a technicality, and that all documents are properly completed and filed. Indeed, help with the applications for government benefits is perhaps one of the most attractive features of the employee paid benefit Countrywide offers.

Reduce Wait Times and Save Money.

Time is important and the wheels of government sometimes move far too slow. That’s one of the reasons why a group legal plan can be so helpful. Legal assistance from an attorney reduces the amount of time spent in getting application process or benefits delivered. Lawyers understand how government operates and how to secure from a bureaucrat what is needed without jeopardizing an application. These practitioners of the law are familiar with the language of various jurisdictions, and being able to speak in the same vernacular of civil servants just makes things go quicker.

Human resources departments welcome the fact that a Countrywide group legal plan can be an voluntary benefit without a lot of administrative work or attention. They also appreciate knowing that any plan member is treated with courtesy and respect by lawyers associated with Countrywide. We have been in the business of making government procedures easier to follow since 1987, and we have exactly what an employee needs to navigate the bureaucratic canals. Our attorneys have helped countless numbers of people get the kind of benefits they are entitled to from government. We also provide the easy administration that human resources management would like to see in any benefit.

Client Reviews
★★★★★
The legal plan has been a great resource and they commonly align the practice area with the best of the best. I have used this in multiple states and locations for a range of services and have saved 10x program costs. I highly recommend this service and is a great benefit MTM provides us. T. Lucas
★★★★★
I have been able to personally recommend this to a number of our people base on the excellent service and quality advice that I have received over the last two years. I have been able to have a new will drawn up, have received advice and review of real estate contracts both in New Jersey and Florida, and have had occasion, unfortunately, to seek advice on criminal charges filed against one of my teenagers. We were delighted when the charges were dropped, the direct result of the representation of the lawyer I immediately contacted from Countrywide. I will continue to recommend Countrywide based on my personal experience as well as the feedback that I have received from our employees. P. Daniels HR Director
★★★★★
We have offered Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services to our employees since 2007. At the time, we were looking for a unique, low cost benefit offering for our employees. I had heard about pre-paid legal services, but must admit, I didn’t think our employees would get much bang for their buck. I was wrong, I was stunned at how many employees actually enrolled in the plan during that first year. Our enrollment continues to be strong and employees rave about the benefit year after year. The plan is simple to administer and Countrywide handle everything in an organized, professional manner. It’s been a very well-received benefit for our employees. J. Magrowski, VP Human Resources
★★★★★
I am very pleased to recommend Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as your legal plan provider. Our benefits philosophy is to attract, motivate, reward and retain the best employees and Countrywide complimented our total rewards package. The set up and rollout of this plan was well organized and quite easy to administer. Countrywide has been easy to work with, has attended our benefit fairs, group meetings and provides us with all communication pieces for open enrollment. J. Kilpatrick Benefits Manager
★★★★★
We made a decision to offer Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services as a voluntary benefit to our full-time employees. The benefit was well-received by employees and enrollment has been consistently high. The plan is easy to administer and fully paid at the employee level. Countrywide attends all of our employee fairs, gives an excellent presentation to our employees and they are timely and responsive to our request for information. From an HR perspective, I can highly recommend this service to any company looking to enhance their employee benefits package with quality choices while keeping costs manageable. S. Phillips, VP, Human Resources
