Prior to February 2018, certain retirees of Delphi were not considered eligible to receive benefits from the Legal Services Plan. However at that time, a new agreement was reached between the UAW and GM, making retirees and surviving spouses as described below eligible for the Legal Services Plan benefit.
Pursuant to that agreement, the following Retirees are now covered under the Legal Services Plan and are now included in the definition of a GM retiree:
- Retirees who are covered under the Benefit Guarantee; or
- Retirees who “checked the box” in the 2006 Special Attrition and who receive pension benefits under the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan.
The following Surviving Spouses are now covered under the Legal Services Plan:
- Surviving spouses of Retirees (as defined above) who receive pension benefits under the General Motors Hourly-Rate Employees Pension Plan. NOTE: Individuals receiving a deferred vested pension are not eligible.
