The SECURE Act has me thinking!

By: Blair Farwell

The SECURE Act quietly passed with little fanfare at the very end of 2019. I see one very large liability for people who had structured their estates around passing on IRAs to their heirs.

Must-Know Statistics About Long-Term Care: 2019 Edition

As the long term care specialist at Resource Brokerage for over 13 years-I’m always asked about the statistics associated with long term care insurance. Questions like how many years is the average amount of time a person may need long term care coverage. Or, what is the average amount of cost that a person could expect to pay for care in their lifetime. The best compendium of long-term care statistics on usage, cost, insurance and caregivers that I have seen is the study put together by Christine Benz titled: “Must-Known Statistics About Long-Term Care: 2019 Edition“.

5 Facts About the Senate Finance Long-Term Care Hearing

By Allison Bell | November 21, 2019 at 02:53 PM

1. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., announced Wednesday, at a hearing on Alzheimer’s awareness organized by the committee’s health subcommittee, that he’s circulating a discussion draft of a plan for letting people use money from their retirement plans to pay for LTCI coverage.
2. Toomey said he thinks using a tax credit to spur sales of private LTCI to younger, healthier people could help ease LTCI issuers’ price stability problems.
3. Marc Cohen was one of the witnesses. Cohen, a gerontologist who has been involved in the LTCI market for many years, was one of the hearing witnesses. He said a new federal tax break for LTCI coverage could help increase sales, and reduce LTCI prices, by cutting the net cost of coverage, and also by signaling to younger, healthier people that long-term care risk is something they should think about.
4. Cohen talked about ways to reduce LTCI selling costs. Cohen suggested that it might be possible to increase LTCI coverage costs, and increase sales, by building it into products that people do buy, such as Medicare Advantage plans, or by selling LTCI policies through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) public exchange system.
5.  A Democratic senator asked about the relationship between long-term care and the Affordable Care Act. Family members’ willingness to provide informal care helps reduce the financial impact of long-term care needs on the Medicaid nursing home benefits program.
