What is Long-Term Care?
Long-term care insurance pays for medical care given in a nursing home, assisted living facility, adult day care center or your own home. It can pay the expenses related to skilled care and treating chronic health problems.*
Asset-Based Long-Term Care Using Life Insurance
Asset-based long-term care using life insurance allows you to leverage existing assets to protect yourself and your loved ones from the financial and emotional strain that can occur when long-term care needs arise.
Key Features:
Premium Options: Utilize existing assets, like CDs, savings, or IRAs, as a one-time premium payment or opt for guaranteed annual premiums that will never increase.
Asset Protection: Enjoy the security of a life insurance policy that grows at a minimum, tax-deferred interest rate.
Tax-Free Benefits: Use your life insurance for qualifying long-term care expenses and pay no income tax on the benefits should the need arise.
Leave a Legacy: If the long-term care benefit goes unused, or only a portion is utilized, your named beneficiaries will receive the death benefit income tax-free.
Funding Long-Term Care Expenses with Annuities
For those who have diligently saved and invested for retirement, our annuity option is a strategic way to designate provisions for end-of-life care or long-term care. By transferring existing savings or assets to an annuity, you can combine long-term asset growth with essential long-term care benefits.
Key Features:
Single Premium Option: Use existing assets, such as CDs, savings, or another annuity, for a one-time premium payment and avoid ongoing, non-guaranteed premium payments.
Added Value for Care: Watch your accumulated value grow at a guaranteed minimum interest rate, and when funds are withdrawn for long-term care expenses, they get credited at an even higher interest rate.
Tax-Free Benefits: Enjoy the advantage of paying no income tax when using your annuity for qualifying long-term care expenses, regardless of deferred gains (subject to monthly maximums, and premiums funded after-tax).
