The FLTCIP Offers Comprehensive Coverage Decide where your care will take place: Home Adult day care center Assisted living facility Nursing home Hospice facility
4
The FLTCIP Offers Comprehensive Coverage Identify your caregivers: Formal caregivers Home health and care agencies, visiting nurse associations, and hospice agencies Informal caregivers Friend, relative, or private caregiver, as long as that person did not live in your home at the time you became eligible for benefits

Designing Your FLTCIP Coverage It’s easy! 1.Choose a daily benefit amount (DBA). 2.Choose a benefit period. 3.Choose your inflation protection.
6
Decision #1: Daily Benefit Amount Choose between $100 and $450 per day $50 increments Covered expenses are paid up to 100% of DBA for care, regardless of domestic location* Consider the cost where you live Launch the Online Consultant Tool at www.LTCFEDS.com * International benefits are reimbursed at a rate of 80%.

Decision #2: Benefit Period Choose a benefit period 2 years 3 years 5 years Unlimited This number will be multiplied by 365 when you calculate your overall benefit due to daily reimbursement of benefits
9
How It Works: Maximum Lifetime Benefit Daily benefit amount* Benefit period (× 365 days) Maximum lifetime benefit *Inflation protection works to help keep this number relevant over the years. ×
10
How It Works: Maximum Lifetime Benefit $150* (DBA) 1,095 days (3-year benefit period) $164,250 (MLB) *Inflation protection works to help keep this number relevant through the years. ×
11
Decision #3: Inflation Protection Keep pace with the rising costs of care. Two approaches Automatic compound inflation option (ACIO) Future purchase option (FPO)
12
Automatic Compound Inflation Option Choose: 4% or 5% ACIO Your benefits automatically increase 4% or 5%, compounded annually
13
Future Purchase Option FPO is the most cost-effective way to begin planning. There is no built-in inflation protection You have the ability to increase your benefits every two years based on current inflation rates Your premium will increase for each inflation increase taken. The additional premium for each increase will be based on your age and the premium rates in effect at the time the increase takes effect
