6-Year Continuation of Benefits (COB) Feature on Annuity Care II Effective 03/11/23
More leverage with Annuity Care II
Jeff Levin, VP, Care Solutions Distribution
We are excited to share that OneAmerica® is activating a 6-year Continuation of Benefits (COB) feature on Annuity Care II, effective March 11, 2023. With this change, Annuity Care II can provide your clients with long-term care (LTC) benefit values that are up to 4 times* larger than premium paid. In addition, the full monthly benefit is available regardless of the number of days services are rendered in any given month. This is especially important today as many clients desire to receive care in the comfort of their own home.
This change is simple to understand:
- Applicants ages 40-69 receive 6-year COB benefit**
- Applicants ages 70-80 receive the 3-year COB benefit**
