There are two different applications for the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP): the Full Underwriting Application and the Abbreviated Underwriting Application. Which application you can use depends on how you are eligible to apply for coverage under the FLTCIP.
 

The Abbreviated Underwriting Application

Only the persons listed below can apply using the Abbreviated Underwriting Application within 60 days of becoming eligible.

  • New or newly eligible employees, including:
     
    • Employees who transfer from a position that does not convey eligibility for the FLTCIP to one that does
       
    • Employees who return to an eligible position after a break in service of at least 180 days
       
  • Spouses of new/newly eligible employees
     
  • Newly married spouses of employees (within 60 days from the date of marriage)

The Full Underwriting Application

Applicants who are not new/newly eligibile employees, must use the Full Underwriting Application.
