Genworth Changes Oct 23, 2017

Genworth announced today that effective 11/20/2017 they will have only two LTC underwriting classes – Select and Standard. They currently operate under a 4 class system – Preferred Best, Preferred, Select and Standard, so this move eliminates their current best two classes of Preferred and Preferred Best. The removal of these two classes means higher rates for our clients going forward.
All Genworth applications signed and received before 11/20/17 will still have the 4 risk classes, so NOW is the time to take advantage and have your clients move forward with any pending proposals you have. Any proposal you have quoted at Preferred Best or Preferred will only be good through 11/20/17. All applications must be received in our office no later than Friday 11/17/17 in order to be eligible for Preferred Best or Preferred. The difference in pricing between Preferred and Standard is almost 20%, so be sure we are taking advantage of this for our clients while we can. Please read this announcement from Genworth, and be in touch for any assistance with proposals or applications. READ MORE
