The Partnership is a joint federal-state policy initiative to promote the purchase of private long term care insurance.   Available in the majority of states, the Partnership Program is intended to expand access to private long term care insurance policy to pay for long term care services.  The program has grown since being introduced initially in four states, California, New York, Connecticut and Indiana.

“The Association has been receiving a number of inquiries by individuals frustrated that no single resource exists where current information regarding approved states is available,” declares Jesse Slome, director of the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance (AALTCI).    ”The Association’s website seemed the perfect resource as thousands of individuals visit the site looking for information.”

An updated list of states is a prominent feature of the new webpage.  “We show effective dates for all 50 states and the District of Columbia as well as which states offer policy reciprocity.  In addition, a number of Frequently Asked Questions are addressed.

The American Association for Long Term Care Insurance is the national trade organization established to provide consumer information and connect interested consumers with professional long term care insurance specialists.  “Some insurance products are commodity products but long term care insurance can be quite complex and working with a knowledgeable specialist is typically the best choice for a consumer,” Slome notes.

To learn more about the organization visit the Association’s website at www.aaltci.org or call 818-597-3227.  For information on the Long Term Care Partnership program go to www.aaltci.org/partnership.

According to Jesse Slome, executive director of AALTCI, the Partnership programs provide some very unique asset protection benefits designed to encourage more middle income individuals to undertake long term care planning.

New York State was one of the four original states to offer the special Long Term Care Partnership program, Slome explains.  Connecticut, California and Indiana were the other three original states.

“The Partnership program was originally made possible by grants from the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation with the specific goal of making affordable long term care insurance protection available and attractive to as many individuals as possible,” Slome adds.

New York residents are eligible for the program that can only be offered by approved insurers and licensed professionals who take part in special training.  The Association will be working closely with designated professionals to help consumers seeking information as well as cost proposals for this important protection.

The web address for the new website is http://www.newyorkpartnershiponly.com/ and provides the latest information on the program.

Established in 1998, the American Association for Long Term Care Insurance is the national organization created to educate consumers about the importance of long term care planning and to support insurance professionals who market these products.
