| Organization | Comments |
| Alcoa | The program is not closed, we have some employees “grandfathered” in. |
| Brentwood | Before I came to the City, the service was offered as a purely supplemental benefit paid 100% by employees via payroll deduction. There was very little interest among employees, so the program was never implemented. |
| Gallatin | We have been approached many times on this topic, but we do not feel it adds value to our total benefit package. |
| Gatlinburg | I do not recommend this benefit. We are down to 7 employees (out of 304) that have kept this benefit. It is not productive to offer payroll deductions for 7 employees. |
| Goodlettsville | It’s a huge rip-off. |
| Hendersonville | Do not have and do not plan to have. |
| MDHA | We do not offer prepaid legal services, although I understand that on a very limited basis some legal services may be available through our EAP program. |
| Oak Ridge | Legal is included in EAP we have through the State medical insurance program and both the City and the employee share in that premium cost. |
| Portland | We are looking into this. |
