FLTCIP 3.0: Comprehensive Coverage with Added Premium Stability
In today’s world, planning is essential. People are living longer and need a long-range care plan that can sustain them throughout their lifetime.
Regardless of the setting—home, assisted living facility, or nursing home—long term care can be expensive. And the need for long term care can happen at any time, not just in your later years, so making decisions about this type of care be difficult. The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP), the group long term care insurance program that only members of the federal family can apply for, can help.
The FLTCIP 3.0, the current plan available to new applicants, offers comprehensive coverage, including a stay-at-home benefit and home care provided by friends and family*, with added premium stability.
One thing that makes FLTCIP 3.0 unique is the premium stabilization feature. This built-in, innovative feature is designed to reduce the potential need for large future premium increases—a concern many consumers wanted the long term care insurance industry to address. Under certain conditions, this amount may be used to offset an enrollee’s future premium payments or provide a refund of premium death benefit.
FLTCIP 3.0 benefits also include:
international coverage up to 100% of the maximum lifetime benefit
choice of a 3% automatic compound inflation option or future purchase option
choice of a two-year, three-year, or five-year benefit period
The FLTCIP is available to eligible federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants, active and retired uniformed service members, and certain qualified relatives. Qualified relatives include spouses, domestic partners, adult children, and parents, parents-in-law, and stepparents.
With benefits designed specifically for the federal family, the FLTCIP can help protect your savings and assets in the event you or your loved ones ever need long term care. Developed to provide solutions for a range of financial situations, this employer-sponsored program has grown to be the most successful and utilized program of its kind, providing valuable coverage for more than 267,000 enrollees.
The FLTCIP is a medically underwritten benefit, so it’s important to apply when you are in good health to avoid the risk that a future illness or condition may prevent you from obtaining coverage later. Certain medical conditions, or combinations of conditions, will prevent some people from being approved for coverage.
