the Total Living Coverage® credited interest rate from 3.85% to 3.60% on new policies.

The TLC Advantage

leverage on both long term care and life insurance benefits than the leading competitor
through the insured’s attained age of 88.* TLC offers, on average, higher credited
interest rates, stronger guarantees and better protection than its leading competitors.
