Important Notice

For Applicants -- Please Read

Thank you for your interest in the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP). As you consider submitting an application for coverage, it is important for you to know that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recently awarded a new contract for the FLTCIP. This may affect your decision to apply now.

OPM originally contracted with John Hancock Life Insurance Company and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company as the insurers for the first FLTCIP contract term. The first FLTCIP contract ended on April 30, 2009, although the current services and insurers will continue for up to 10 months after that date to transition to the new contract.

OPM awarded the contract for the next 7-year period to John Hancock, which will serve as the sole insurer. Long Term Care Partners will remain as the Program administrator.
