SOK Individual Long Term Care Insurance and Lifetime Benefit Term Insurance Programs
As a State of Kansas (SOK) employee, you will have access to special long term care offerings from March 1, 2016 – May 31, 2016, distributed by ACSIA Partners LLC. These programs address uninsured long term care costs, which are one of the greatest risks to retirement savings and income today. ACSIA Partners has developed a comprehensive program to provide you with all the information you need to determine which type of long term care solution is appropriate for you and your family.
Why Take Advantage of These Opportunities?
Long Term Care Insurance
Simplified Underwriting: Benefits-eligible SOK employees and their spouse that are actively at work for at least 20 hours per week, of W-2 status, and between the ages of 18-65 are eligible to apply with simplified underwriting. Simplified underwriting means fewer medical underwriting questions and no medical exam to prove good health. Apply during the initial enrollment period of March 1, 2016 – May 31, 2016 to receive this one-time opportunity of simplified underwriting.
Gender-Neutral Rates: Premiums are the same for men and women of the same age, which is not always the case with other individual long term care insurance policies. Women are often charged higher premiums than men of the same age for the same policy.*
Please note: Employees aged 66-79, spouses and family members are eligible to apply with full underwriting. SOK employees aged 18-65 can apply after the simplified underwriting enrollment period; however, full medical underwriting is required. Full underwriting means the full medical history form and proof of good health.
