Long Term Care

Can my family continue coverage if I die?

Answer:

No. Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program coverage is specific to the enrolled individual. If an enrollee dies, no one can continue that enrollee's coverage.  However, any enrolled relatives of a deceased enrollee can continue their coverage as long as they continue to pay premiums. If their premiums were paid through payroll/annuity deduction of the deceased, they will need to contact Long Term Care Partners to make other arrangements for premium payment.
