NEWS: New Long Term Care Insurance Plan
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has launched a new Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) plan offering: FLTCIP 3.0. The new plan and rate structure is available to applicants who apply for coverage on or after October 21, 2019. It does not impact current FLTCIP enrollee plans or premiums.
The FLTCIP provides comprehensive long term care coverage with special emphasis on home and community care services. Coverage is designed to help the claimant and family pay for the high costs of long term care and increase options for care delivery.
Many members of the federal family are eligible to apply for FLTCIP coverage, including federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants, active and retired members of the uniformed services, and qualified relatives.
