The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is conducting an open season for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) that ends June 24, 2011.To help employees understand the program and benefits, OPM has scheduled a series of voluntary, off-the-clock webinars. The next webinar will be June 14 at 3 pm EDT and June 15 at 1 pm EDT. To register, visit this website: https://www.ltcfeds.com/webinar/index.html.
During the webinars, a FLTCIP expert will discuss the importance of planning for potential long-term care needs, review FLTCIP benefits options, review the open season application and the enrollment process, including costs, and answer questions.
All webinar registrants will receive an email with sample rate quotes.
Long-term care provides assistance for those unable to perform on their own normal daily activities such as bathing or dressing. However, expensive long-term care is generally not covered by Medicare or other federal health care programs.
FLTCIP — underwritten by the John Hancock Life and Health Insurance Company under a contract with OPM — can protect those who are covered from the high costs of long-term care whether they live at home, in an assisted care facility, or in a nursing home. For more information about FLTCIP, visit http://www.ltcfeds.com/ or call 800-LTC-FEDS (800-582-3337). The TTY number is 800-843-3557.
FLTCIP is the only long-term care insurance program offered by the OPM.
