At NJLTC we send out several email newsletters , "Blasts" as we call them, a month. We keep our clients, brokers, and producers informed of all the relevant news, topics, and product updates that take place in our industry.

February News Feb 8, 2019

February is here...real cold, but break out the shorts later this week...The information seems to come in everyday. This blast will update you on the following:

Securian Hybrid - 100% true cash indemnity plan! The main differences between the 2017 and 2018 SecureCare policies are as follows:

2017 SecureCare will have a higher death benefit and cash value than the 2018 SecureCare policy. This is because charges are taken out throughout the life of the 2017 policy, thus maintaining a higher internal cash value, which results in a higher death benefit to maintain the definition of life insurance. The 2018 SecureCare policy takes out all the charges right when the premium is paid. This allows the LTC portions of the premium to be potentially tax deductible.

2017 SecureCare requires a monthly proof of loss form to be completed while the insured is on claim. The monthly proof of loss form asks for proof of either $1 qualified expenses, or a summary of informal care that is being provided. The 2018 SecureCare is pure indemnity, which requires no monthly proof of loss form.

2017 Secure Care does not allow the insured to take less than their monthly LTC max if there's an inflation option. The 2018 SecureCare allows the insured to take less than their LTC max, even if there's an inflation option.

2017 SecureCare offers a reimbursement international benefit. The 2018 SecureCare offers a cash indemnity international benefit
