Robert and Carol,
Good news. Your revised long-term care (LTC) insurance quotes are ready.
🔁 Revised quotes
I've provided three quotes with the ADJUST: same costs/benefits. Your choice of Base from your first-look quotes is option X. Each one includes 3% annual growth to help your benefits keep pace with rising LTC costs.
🧐 My notes
All three options are strong and each includes a refund to your spouse, kids, or heirs that exceeds the total premiums paid if you never need care.
All three policies include lifetime premiums, meaning you pay each year for life—but payments stop once you begin receiving care. While insurers technically can raise rates in the future, it’s highly unlikely. These policies are conservatively priced, and carriers have decades of data to help them set stable premiums.
Assisted-living in New Jersey is projected to cost $234,000/year by age 80 (assuming 4% annual growth). Your options provide lower annual benefits than this projection, but you can bridge the gap using personal savings and Social Security. If you'd like higher annual benefits, you can increase your premium—your benefits will rise proportionally (e.g., by 25%).
👉🏻 Next steps
Once you've reviewed your options, just reply to my email or text with the one that feels closest—A, B, or C and I'll email the policy documents to you (no commitment).
