2 Questions begin a new conversation • 1- Should something happen, what is your written plan of care? • 2- What have you set aside to pay for it? A lack of tangible answers is the beginning of CHANGE Presenting TLC
Consider… • Traditional long term care insurance (LTCI) may not be for everyone • Aversion to paying annual premiums • Dislike the idea of paying for something they may never use • Believe self-insuring is better option • Have not experienced a long term care need • Who’s likely to fit this? • Client Profile • 85% of TLC owners are age 58-72, retired or close to retirement • Average age, 62 • 59% of TLC owners are females (Singles?) • Average investable assets are $1.2 million Presenting TLC
Consider… • This is for clients who are healthy, wealthy and older Presenting TLC

Analyze if it’s enough…(continued) • Some studies estimate that we need to recruit as many as 200,000 new direct-care workers each year to meet future demand • By 2030, the number of Americans 65 years old and older will double • As the number of people who will need long term care increases, the number of people qualified to provide this care will not be sufficient A National Shortage of Long Term Caregivers* Between 2000 and 2030, the number of US elders will increase by 104 percent. During the same period, the number of women aged 25 to 44 – the group from which most direct-care workers have traditionally come – will increase by only 7 percent. One of the first steps to help stabilize and develop the direct-care workforce is to ensure that these workers have access to affordable health coverage. *Source: www.coverageiscritical.org Presenting TLC

Important Information Covered long term care expenses may be paid for a longer or shorter period than the ABR and EBR periods. Expenses may be paid for a longer period if the actual expenses paid are less than the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit. Expenses may be paid for a shorter period because some services – supportive equipment and caregiver training – do not count toward the Maximum Monthly LTC Benefit Payments for covered care are not considered taxable income as provided in subsection 104(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, life insurance death benefits are payable to the beneficiary income tax free. In addition, the law provides that cash values that accumulate within a life insurance policy grow on an income tax-deferred basis and are not subject to income tax until withdrawn from the policy or if the policy terminates. This policy may be considered a modified endowment contract. This means that, if the client takes a policy loan or partial withdrawal from the policy value, they may have to pay income tax if the amount of the policy value is higher than the amount the client paid for the policy. Monthly charges to pay for the long term care riders of this policy are considered by tax law to be partial withdrawals and are also income taxable. If your client is under the age of 59 1/2, he or she may be subject to an additional 10% tax, unless an allowable exception applies. But the cost of the long term care features that are withdrawn from the policy values may qualify for an income tax deduction under certain limited circumstances and up to certain limits. Your client may want to speak with a tax advisor to discuss how this impacts individual situations. However, any benefits paid for qualified long term care services are received income tax free.
