The Federal Government announced that applications for the Federal Long-Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) would be suspended for the next two years. Federal employees will need to look for an alternative to FLTCIPVirginia, United States - Federal Long-Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) suspension came after John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company notified the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that existing premiums are unsustainable and it would need to seek significant rate increases. The deadline for applications is the 18th of December, 2022. With a deep understanding of regulations, reimbursement rules, and facility operations, Policy Solver's consultants can help federal employees overcome challenges and take advantage of opportunities. Policy Solver will be there for you during every phase of the process as part of their commitment to streamlining the process for federal workers.
With the announcement that applications for FLTCIP will be suspended for two years, new federal workers have a very small window to apply. According to the Federal Register, OPM will not accept new enrollments, and federal employees will need to find alternative health insurance. The Office of Personnel Management has also concluded that changes to FLTCIP premium rates are likely.
The Office of Personnel Management expects the 24-month suspension period will be required to ensure FLTCIP premium rates appropriately and equitably reflect the cost of benefits delivered and to review or amend as needed.
While the future remains impossible to predict, long-term care is not. Long-term care encompasses anyone struggling with "Activities of Daily Living" or everyday tasks and responsibilities.
Employees at the federal level should not overlook the importance of long-term care insurance and make financial plans for the future to ensure their families won't be left in the lurch if their loved one becomes ill.
