Transamerica has introduced a Long Term Care Rider for its Transamerica Universal Life Insurance SM product, aiming to assist Americans nearing retirement age in managing their long-term care needs. With the average life expectancy in the US around 77 years, this rider provides a proactive approach to securing financial stability in later years.
The Long Term Care Rider, now part of the Transamerica Universal Life Insurance, enables policyholders to access death benefits earlier, offering financial support in case of debilitating health conditions. This rider is designed to cover expenses for licensed long-term care, whether at home, in adult daycare, treatment centers, or other facilities.
Meanwhile, the policy continues to offer standard universal life insurance benefits like cash value accumulation and straightforward premium payments, with the added advantage of being available without the need for a medical exam.
In addition to the Long Term Care Rider, Transamerica's range of living benefit riders includes the Chronic Condition Rider, Extension of Benefit Rider, and Benefits Restoration Rider. These offerings collectively aim to offer a comprehensive safety net for policyholders in various qualifying scenarios.
"Our goal is to help employees plan for the future with confidence,” said John Stanley, employee benefits senior managing director at Transamerica. “The introduction of our Long Term Care Rider is a vital step towards empowering individuals to manage their long-term care needs proactively.”
