The Benefits

  • All benefits come out of this contract tax free for long term care via the Pension Protection Act.*
  • The PPA allows the cash value of annuity contracts to be used to pay premiums for long term care contracts. The payment of premiums in this manner will reduce the cost basis of the annuity contract. In addition, the Act allows the purchase of an annuity contract with such a rider to utilize a tax-free transfer under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
  • This works well for individuals that have annuities with a low cost basis or who are not in the best of health. Max issue age 80 years and 11 months (attained age no back-dating).
  • Minimum Single Premium: $10,000 (may vary by state)
  • LTC Withdrawals: Inability to perform 2 out of 6 ADLs or cognitive impairment 90-day elimination
  • LTC withdrawal Method: Can choose reimbursement or indemnity. Must be chosen at contract issue.
  • Underwriting – about 10 health questions, followed by MIB, script check and a telephone interview which primarily consists of a cognitive screening. Underwritten for morbidity.
  • Can do joint insureds, must be legal spouses, both insureds need to be insurable as stated above.
  • Product Features – Internal charges support the LTC leveraging effect in this policy. With current low interest rates account value does decline slowly over time in some cases. This is a protection play not an accumulation play.
