OneAmerica: LTCi Underwriting changes coming to OneAmerica on 5/1

From OneAmerica:

Due to the ongoing challenges with the COVID-19 outbreak, we believe it is prudent to make temporary changes to our business limits as detailed below.  These changes are effective at the close of business Friday, May 1 (5/1/2020).  Business already in-house and business received by end of day on May 1 will be handled according to our guidelines prior to this announcement.  Applications received after close of business on May will be handled according to the guidelines below.

For ALL underwritten products, both Care Solutions and traditional, we will require a Certificate of Insurability (COI) upon policy delivery for all sales (both Cash on Delivery (COD) and Cash with App (CWA)).  The COI must be received before the policy can be put in force / paid.
