“Untold numbers of seniors have been devastated by the investment markets’ 2008 collapse and are searching for

new ways to fund their retirement.”–Insurance Studies Institute

“The housing crisis has kept thousands of Americans who need support and care from moving into retirement communities or

assisted living centers, effectively stranding them in their own homes.”

–New York Times

“In the coming decades, many Americans will not have a way to pay for long-term care services. As the population is aging, the need for long-term care services is exploding. However, as the need for services increases, government funding will not be able to keep up, undermining a critical component of the nation’s health care delivery system.”

–The Long Term Care Funding Crisis Milliman Consulting

The Assurance Benefit is a “Funding Bridge” to help families pay for the costs of senior living and long term care by converting an in-force life insurance policy they no longer need or can no longer afford while preserving other more valuable assets.

Q: Is it Time to Consider Converting a Life Insurance Policy into a Long Term Care “Assurance Benefit”?

A: If a policy owner has outlived the purpose of a life insurance policy, can no longer afford the premiums, and is spending down assets to eventually qualify for Medicaid—then converting a life policy to help pay for long term care should be considered.

A Life Insurance Policy is legally protected as personal property by the US Supreme Court and the policy holder has the guaranteed right to convert it to pay for Long Term Care and Senior Housing.

A Life Insurance Policy is a Financial Asset just like a stock or bond.
