Long-Term Care Planning Resources
State and federal government budgets are under increasing pressure to finance long-term care expenses of aging baby boomers who are unable to finance their own. As a result, the federal government has recently tweaked the rules that make it easier for the private sector to finance long-term care expenses via the acceleration of life insurance death benefits on a tax-free basis. The industry has responded by creating products that take advantage of that increased flexibility. Some modern policies now enable the funding of long-term care expenses on an indemnity basis, inflation-indexed, and tax-free. The following resources introduce the most current financial planning opportunities that address the growing need for long-term care expense funding:
