11 Understanding Stand-Alone LTC Policies
Typical Features Client Profile Generally, provides the most LTC Benefit per premium dollar Most are a Reimbursement Plan, rather than an Indemnity Plan Some now offer ROP If you don’t use it, you lose it. Inflation options are available, at an additional cost Some benefits received by insured may not be covered by reimbursement Premiums are not guaranteed Age 50 or older, married, and generally healthy Homeowner Probably already owns life insurance Does not have a need for additional life insurance protection Desires Inflation protection Needs pure LTC protection Likely knows someone who needed long-term care

12 Understanding Linked-Benefit Long Term Care Policies

13 Life Insurance Rider Features
Understanding LTC & Chronic Illness Riders Life Insurance Rider Features Client Profile ROP Features available on some products Guaranteed premiums are available Death benefit available Accelerate all or a portion of the death benefit Waiver of monthly deduction offered on some riders Some designs can increase the death benefit/rider benefit over time Is age 50 or older, married, and generally healthy Homeowner Previously owned standalone LTC and experienced significantly increasing premiums Wants control of how assets are spent for future care and does not want to track receipts Is currently providing financial support to parents, or knows someone who that is Knows someone who has been in a nursing home or need attentive medical care Has an existing life insurance policy without a living benefit rider

14 Reimbursement vs. Indemnity Products
Reimbursement products Indemnity products Provides a benefit if the client meets the requirements of the policy and spends money on a qualified service. PROS: Clients receive a benefit equal to their total cost, up to a predetermined maximum CONS: Rider usually requires confinement in a facility and does not cover home care or family care. Restrictions exist for reimbursement by ILIT-owned contracts Provides a benefit once client meets the requirements of the policy. PROS: Product does not require clients to receive services in a care facility PROS: Clients can use the benefit to pay medical or non-medical expenses, or to enhance their savings Reimbursement vs. Indemnity Reimbursement Reimbursement products provide a benefit if the client meets the requirements of the policy and spends money on a qualified service. The benefit of a reimbursement product is that clients receive a benefit equal to their total cost, up to a predetermined maximum. The downside is that the client does not receive income unless the insurance carrier specifies the service as eligible for Reimbursement. Therefore, a client could purchase this product and never see any benefit. Indemnity Indemnity products are those that provide clients with a benefit once they meet the requirements of their policy. The benefit of an indemnity product is that it does not require clients to receive services to receive income. Therefore, the client can use the benefit to pay medical or non-medical expenses, or to enhance their savings.

15 Understanding LTC and Chronic Illness Riders
LONG-TERM CARE RIDERS Tax Code 101G 7702B Duration Benefit duration based on death benefit, cash value, and benefit amount payment options Defined benefit and duration Permanency Requirement Historically required permanent condition Condition can be temporary or permanent Claim Type Indemnity Indemnity or Reimbursement Benefit payments Tax favored if meet per diem requirements (Current $360 per day) Tax favored if meet per diem requirements (Current $360 per day) Other features Some waive policy monthly deductions while on claim Can have inflation adjustment Licensing Life licensed except in CA that requires LTC Certification on all decks Requires A&H License & LTC certification

16 Understanding Different Chronic Care Rider Designs
Discounted Death Benefit Basics – No Up-front Cost Clients can accelerate all or part of their death benefit in the event of a critical, chronic, or terminal illness, depending on the carrier. No-cost accelerated benefit payout and what client receives is based on change in life expectancy after diagnosis of a covered illness or some other discount calculation (varies by carrier) No additional underwriting at time of policy purchase Significantly shorter life expectancy = larger payout Moderately impacted life expectancy = smaller payout Depending on carrier, clients may accelerate up to 100% of the policy death benefit up to a lifetime maximum

18 Chronic Illness Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution:
Indemnity business FLEXIBLE BENEFIT BASE No LTC license necessary (Except California) Two out of six ADLs; or severe cognitive impairment Non permanent No receipts Spend benefits on anything Death benefit can be up to double the Chronic Illness benefit $50,000 minimum up to $3,000,000 maximum Full waiver of monthly deductions Let’s look at some of the benefits of the Accelerated Access Solution. Accelerated Access was filed as a rider under IRC section 101(g). That primarily means that: No LTC license is required for you to be able to sell the Accelerated Access Solution as part of an AG Secure Lifetime GUL II policy. Your Life Insurance and Accident & Health licensing is all that’s necessary from a licensing standpoint. It also means that the primary triggers for Chronic Illness benefits are either (1) inability to perform 2-out-of-6 Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s); or (2) severe cognitive impairment. Regardless of which of the two triggers applies, the benefit will only be available if the impairment is deemed to be permanent. The benefit was filed as an Indemnity benefit. That’s completely different than the alternative – the Reimbursement benefit. With Reimbursement, you must file a claim and provide copies of all invoices. Your claim is reviewed and, eventually, you receive a reimbursement in an amount the insurance company deems appropriate based on your receipts. With American General Life’s Indemnity version, you don’t need to provide an receipts or file any claims regarding your treatments. American General Life will send your benefit checks every month, regardless of whether you’ve incurred any costs at all, and regardless of what those costs were. You meet the criteria for ADLs or severe cognitive impairment, file your claim and satisfy the 90-day waiting period, and American General Life begins sending the checks. Then you have two decisions to make: your aggregate benefit and your monthly benefit. Aggregate Benefit: Your aggregate benefit must be at least $50,000, and cannot be less than half of your total Death Benefit. So, for a $100,000 death benefit, your Accelerated Access benefit must be at least $50,000. For a $500,000 policy, the Accelerated Access benefit must be at least $250,000. Your aggregate benefit can also be no greater than your death benefit, and is subject to a maximum Accelerated Access benefit of $1,500,000. So, if your death benefit is $900,000, your maximum Accelerated Access Solution benefit is $900,000. If your death benefit is $1,800,000, your maximum aggregate Accelerated Access Solution benefit is limited to $1,500,000.

19 FLEXIBLE MONTHLY BENEFIT Maximum Monthly Benefit
Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution: Chronic Illness FLEXIBLE MONTHLY BENEFIT IRS Per Diem capped at 2% per month IRS Per Diem capped at 4% per month IRS Per Diem with No Cap! Maximum Monthly Benefit equals Total Benefit ÷ 12 IRS caps the maximum daily rate each year. The 2017 maximum is $360/day or $10,950/month. Subsequent years may be higher. Monthly benefit: American General Life will always pay up to the maximum IRS monthly Per Diem benefit, but you have a choice of three different caps on the maximum monthly benefit American General Life will pay. 2% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $10,000 per month. 4% of the AAS Benefit Base. With this option, if you had an Accelerated Access Solution aggregate benefit of $500,000, your monthly maximum benefit would be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $20,000 per month. If you don’t choose to cap your monthly benefit at 2% or 4%, and assuming the same aggregate $500,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, the maximum monthly benefit will be the lesser of: (a) the IRS monthly Per Diem; or (b) $500,000 divided by 12 months = $41,666 per month. So, choose your aggregate benefit, and your monthly cap, and you’ll be ready to go!

26 Key questions to ask Is this an LTC (7702B) design or Chronic Illness (101G) design? Is it a reimbursement or indemnity design? Does the client understand the difference and is this important to them? Is there a cap on the maximum monthly payout? Is there a death benefit? What happens to the policy charges when you go on claim? Does the client have to pay up front for the product or is the payment taken if they go on claim? Is the condition required to be permanent?
