Permanent Life Insurance with LTC

Permanent Life Insurance overview

Our Permanent Life Insurance with Long-Term Care, provided by Chubb, helps you provide for yourself and your important people at home in the event of long-term care needs and/or death. It gives you access to special group rates. Premiums are guaranteed for 5 years (through December 31, 2025).

Your coverage is guaranteed – there is no need to answer any medical questions.

Permanent Life Insurance with Long-Term Care provides:

  • Monthly payments to help cover long-term care costs in the event that you experience a medical condition that requires home health care or nursing home care; and/or
  • A lump sum payment in the event of your death, which can be used as your important people at home see fit

The Long-Term Care coverage provides extra financial support, allowing you to receive care in the setting you choose, and helping you to avoid tapping into savings, retirement benefits or home equity to pay for care.

Long-Term Care payments are typically triggered by the loss of two of six activities of daily living or severe cognitive impairment. Once triggered, the benefits are based on the face amount of coverage purchased and monthly payments are 4% of your policy’s death benefit. You can also include additional policy features that protect (or partially protect) the full value of the death benefit, in the event that you need long-term care.

You can choose coverage for:

Associate Spouse Child
Choose increments of $25,000
(maximum $150,000)
Choose increments of $12,500
(maximum $75,000)
Choose increments of $5,000
(maximum $25,000)

How much does this benefit cost?

The cost will vary based on the coverage selected and your or a covered family member’s age at the time the policy becomes effective.

Premiums will never increase and are guaranteed to age 100 – after which, no further premiums are payable, but coverage continues. And, premiums are payroll deducted.

In 2019, a Cost of Care Survey by Genworth found that long-term care costs in the State of Ohio were around $4,000 per month for home health care and around $7,000 per month for nursing home care.
