LTC COMPLETE
There is now a new, innovative way for employers to offer quality Long-Term Care (LTC) protection to their employees. It is an emergence of a group sponsored “dual purpose” Life & Long-Term Care protection program. Providing Long-Term Care protection options to employees is one of the most important benefits you, as an employer can provide. The need for Long-Term Care services is the largest, uncovered expense that families face during their lifetime. The lack of Long-Term Care protection can wipe out decades of retirement planning and savings.
THE OLD LTC PROTECTION PARADIGM
In recent past, the only option employers had was traditional Long-Term Care insurance (LTCi). Traditional (LTCi) offers good protection for those who can qualify and appeals to the older segment of the working population. Most (LTCi) insurance companies have ceased offering LTCi protection through employees or have stopped premium discounting. With the need for Long-Term Care ever growing, this paradigm had to change to provide an alternative solution.
THE NEW LTC PROTECTION PARADIGM
Now, new policy designs have linked both Long-Term Care protection and life insurance protection together. An employee purchases a base amount of life insurance and receives double that amount in Long-Term Care protection. For example, after purchasing a $100,000 life insurance policy, if the employee dies without needing Long-Term Care services, then $100,000 is paid out to their beneficiaries. If the employee needs services, then they will receive up to $200,000 and will receive a paid-up life policy even if all the LTC benefits are exhausted.
