Long Term Care
When can I make changes to my coverage?
Applications for coverage under the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program were suspended December 19, 2022. This was done to allow OPM and the FLTCIP carrier, John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company, the time to assess the benefit offerings and establish sustainable premium rates that reasonably and equitably reflect the cost of the benefits provided.
You may request a change in your coverage, at any time outside a suspension period, by contacting Long Term Care Partners.
If you wish to increase your coverage outside a suspension period, you must provide, at your expense, evidence of your good health that is satisfactory to Long Term Care Partners.
You may decrease your coverage to any amount available under the Program, and your premiums (which will be based on your original age) will also decrease. You do not have to undergo new underwriting in order to decrease your coverage.
To request a change in your coverage, contact Long Term Care Partners by phone at 1-800-LTCFEDS (1-800-582-3337), or in writing at Long Term Care Partners, PO Box 797, Greenland, NH 03840-0797.
