Blasts & News
There are many changes taking place in the Long Term Care and Disability Insurance industries these days. The information comes from many different sources, and it can be quite confusing at times to put all the pieces together and make sense of it all. 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.

Genworth & Traditional LTC Aug 29, 2019

Here are the latest updates as positive developments continue to occur at a snail's pace. Also addressed here is the LTC block GE kept when Genworth spun off over 10 years ago.

Changes in DI Marketplace Aug 26, 2019
Our last in a series of blasts to assist your sales efforts. In this edition some important changes in the disability marketplace. First Mass Mutual will no longer offer unisex rates on underwritten multi-life cases. This is an important competitive change that can work both ways. All male groups should have lower rates...groups with multiple females will not be a Mass Mutual sweet spot. This is a significant change and we should all be watching to see how the entire industry reacts. Also included in this blast is news from Standard and articles of interest. Good selling and as always, thanks for your business. READ MORE
