CONSUMER INFORMATION: 1035 Exchanges Life Insurance Policies
Time changes everything. The intended use of your life insurance policy may have changed. Maybe it's time to exchange your coverage for a life insurance policy THAT ALSO PROVIDES LONG-TERM CARE BENEFITS.
Congress passed laws designed to encourage more Americans to plan for the very real risk of one day needing costly long-term care.
The Pension Protection Act (PPA) allows for leverage (which simply means more value should you need LTC) and tax benefits for qualifying Life + LTC policies.
One of consumers' main concerns about long-term care (insurance) planning is that they will pay premiums but may never receive benefits. Exchanging an existing life insurance policy for a Life+LTC policy can resolve this concern.
How To Repurpose an Existing Life Insurance Policy
Auto insurance rates
The IRS lets you exchange an existing life insurance policy for a new one that includes LTC benefits. We refer to these policies as Life + LTC policies.
There are a number of reasons to consider exchanging an existing life insurance policy:
An attractive LTC Planning Option
Better Coverage and Tax Advantages
A Stronger Insurance Company
A Pension Protection Act (PPA) qualified "Section 1035 Exchange" can serve these purposes and provide income tax-free benefits to pay for qualifying long-term care expenses.
REAL EXAMPLE #1 - MALE AGE 60 - CASH VALUE LIFE POLICY WORTH $75,000 - THE DEATH BENEFIT NO LONGER OF VALUE
CHIEF CONCERN NOW IS BURDENING HIS FAMILY WITH POTENTIAL LONG-TERM CARE COSTS

REAL EXAMPLE #2 - WOMAN AGE 66 HAS CASH VALUE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY THAT IS WORTH $150,000.
SHE WANTS TO LEVERAGE POLICY TO MAXIMIZE TAX-FREE LTC BENEFITS
She repurposes (1035 Exchanges) the current policy for a Life+LTC policy. The image below shows the Monthly LTC Benefit she could receive as well as the potential benefit pool of dollars available to her.
If she starts needing long-term care at age 91, her policy will provide $6,800 for the first 25 months. Then, it will pay $14,700 for the next 25 months. THAT'S $535,000 of total potential benefits. And, if she dies without needing LTC, the policy still pays a death benefit of $170,000 to her designated beneficiaries.
This is a real example calculated December 2017. If you'd like to learn more, please call the Association offices at 818-597-3227.
