*Legal advice and consultations will not be provided for: 1) employment-related matters, including employee or statutory benefits; 2) matters involving the employer, KGA Inc. and affiliates; 3) appeals and class actions; 4) frivolous or unethical matters; 5) matters for which an attorney-client relationship exists prior to the participant becoming eligible for benefits. Regarding employment-related matters, KGA will refer a participant to an outside legal resource if requested.

If a participant wishes to retain legal representation, KGA will refer the participant to an attorney who may provide services at a 25 percent discount. This is not a guarantee of the least expensive attorney. Should the participant retain an attorney through a KGA referral, he/she is doing so outside the EAP services provided through the employer and the participant is responsible for all fees and costs associated with legal services.
