Long term care insurance typically begins once the policy is in effect, which is usually after the premium payments have been made and the policy has been issued. The specific start date can vary depending on the insurance company and the terms of the policy, so it's important to check the policy documentation or consult with the insurance provider for the exact details.

Non forfeiture options?

Asked by Wiki User

Hi,

I have some few knowledge regarding this nonforfeiture. I had only known that Standard life insurance and long-term care insurance may have nonforfeiture clauses. The clause may involve returning some portion of the total premiums paid, the cash surrender value of the policy, or a reduced benefit based upon premiums paid before the policy lapsed.

If you have any attorney issues regarding this then Law Office of Sebastian Ohanian is one of the best options for you.

Thank you

What is the maximum age you can buy long term care insurance?

Asked by Wiki User

Long term care insurance companies do not necessarily have age limit but in general, they don't sell ltci to people above 84 years of age, and even if you are qualified to buy long term care insurance at that age, the premiums will be very expensive. When planning for long term care insurance, age is one of the major factor to consider because the cost of long term care insurance increases as you age, and if you are one of those people who are at risk of developing chronic illness, then there is a big chance that you might be declined so I suggest you plan for long term care while you are still young, healthy and employed.
