Genworth Suspends Sales of Individual LTCI Products in Hawaii on 4/24

Genworth continuously monitors, examines and manages our business to help ensure we are offering products that are priced to balance consumer needs with our desire to achieve long-term profitability. As a result, on April 24, 2017, we will suspend sales of individual long term care insurance in Hawaii. Privileged Choice® Flex 2 (Flex 2), our current offering in Hawaii, is an older generation policy and no longer meets our pricing assumptions.
