Click here for the original Mutual of Omaha announcement on this.
Long-Term Care insurance (LTCi) is a core product for Mutual of Omaha and we intend to remain a key player in this market for years to come. In order to fulfill this commitment, we actively monitor emerging industry trends as well as our own experience so we can make the adjustments necessary that will allow us to keep our promises to policyholders and remain competitive in the marketplace.
For this reason, we will be implementing the following rate adjustment effective September 1, 2016:
| Block of Business | Impacted States |
| LTC04I | California |
For a complete rate history, see the state approval grid on Sales Professional Access.
Policyholder Notification Process
California requires that Policyholders receive a letter notifying them at least 75 days prior to the premium rate increase. Notification to affected policyholders will be mailed by June 14, 2016, to ensure policyholders in the approved states receive notification of their September 1, 2016, premium rate increase. Along with the premium rate increase notification letters, most policyholders will receive an adjustment offer if there are options available. The offer will provide the policyholder a benefit reduction alternative to help reduce the impact of the premium increase.
