The ULSP is a jointly sponsored NEA FEA legal defense program, designed to provide members and local affiliates appropriate legal assistance in employment-related legal proceedings.

The Educators Employment Liability (EEL) Program is an insurance program that protects FEA members from personal financial liability for incidents arising out of their employment. Individuals are automatically covered by the EEL Program as a benefit of membership in the association.

Payment of the legal costs of defending civil suits (other than suits concerning Civil Rights) brought against a member in the course of his/her employment; and, up to $1 million per member per occurrence in damages assessed against the member as a result of such suits. The policy also provides up to $250,000 for defense, settlements or judgments and other supplementary payments for suits concerning civil rights.

Reimbursement for attorney fees and other legal costs up to $35,000 when a member is charged with violating a criminal statute in the course of his/her employment and the member is exonerated from these charges.

 Reimbursement up to $1,000 of bail bond premium when a member must post a bond as the result of an occurrence arising out of the member's employment.

The EEL program is currently underwritten and administered by Horace Mann Insurance Company (HMIC). In order to access the program, members must first report claims to the local. The Office of Legal Services coordinates and monitors the claims through HMIC.

 
The Attorney Referral Program (ARP) assists Florida Education Association (FEA) members in obtaining personal legal services at a reduced cost. The ARP is administered through a network of law firms through the state that have been recommended for the most part by local associations. The participating firms agree to provide certain legal services to FEA members at rates below their usual fees. Members are permitted to select an ARP attorney in the program.

Members are entitled to up to two free consultations with an ARP attorney up to 30 minutes each program year. If a member decides to retain a program attorney for personal legal services beyond the initial consultation, the member is entitled to a 30% discount for legal work done in five "core areas', Real Estate, Wills and Estates, Domestic Relations, Consumer Protection, and Traffic Violations.
