Federal Government Information on Long
Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care Partners
Web Site
The Federal Government contracted with John Hancock and MetLife to provide
this insurance. They formed a company called Long Term Care Partners, LLC to
administer the Program. The Long Term Care
Partners web site contains extensive information on the Program, online
and downloadable applications, and a calculator that you can use to find out
how much the insurance will cost, based on your age and the benefits you
choose.
Who Can Apply for this Insurance
Approximately 20 million people are eligible to apply for this insurance,
including Federal and Postal employees and annuitants, active and retired
members of the uniformed services, their qualified relatives and a few other
eligible groups.
Advantages of the Federal Program
There are many long term care insurance plans available in the marketplace.
Each offers a unique combination of benefits and pricing structure, making
side-by-side comparisons difficult. Why should you consider our Program? You
need to get below the surface and compare details. And don't be fooled by
other plans claiming to be the Federal program — this is the only
Congressionally authorized long term care insurance program for current and
retired Federal government employees and their families.
