501(c)(20)
From Ballotpedia
501(c)(20) is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax exemption status that applies to "qualified group legal services plans." This status was eliminated after June 30, 1992.[1]
Prior to 1992, 501(c)(20) organizations provided individual legal services benefits to members. Following the 1992 ruling, 501(c)(20) organizations have been able to request a status change to 501(c)(9) voluntary employee benefits associations.[2]
