Long-Term Care/Life

Instead of purchasing Voluntary Life Insurance alone, you can purchase LifeTime Benefit Term, which combines life insurance and long-term care insurance. This one benefit can help pay for care you may need in your later years and provide a benefit to your family when you die.

The Basics

How It Works

As life insurance, LifeTime Benefit Term pays a cash benefit your family can use any way they choose. If you become chronically ill, LifeTime Benefit Term will pay you 4% of your death benefit each month you receive Long-Term Care. Your death benefit reduces proportionately.

What You Can Buy

You can choose this benefit for yourself, your spouse, your children, and your dependent grandchildren as a new hire, during Open Enrollment, and within 30 days after a qualified life event. You can choose life insurance amounts between $25,000 and $150,000, with a long-term care insurance amount of three times your life insurance amount. 

What It Pays

Benefits are paid to you while you are living for long-term care insurance and to your beneficiary for life insurance. You must choose a beneficiary through the Alera Group Benefits Center.

Your Coverage Details

You decide how you want to use LifeTime Benefit Term. You can leave the benefit to provide your family with a cash payout when you die. Or, if you become chronically ill, you can have LifeTime Benefit Term pay you 4% of your death benefit each month you receive Long-Term Care. You can use the benefit to pay for anything you like, including groceries, mortgage, and home health care. It’s important to know:

  • Your death benefit will reduce proportionately each month you receive Long-Term Care benefit payments. Your life insurance premiums will be waived during this time.
  • If you require care beyond the initial 25 months, you will automatically be able to continue drawing 4% of the original policy amount for up to 50 more months (75 months total of long-term care payments if required). 
  • You can take this coverage with you if you leave Alera Group.

See the Policy Guide for additional details.

Your Paycheck Costs

You pay for this coverage through after-tax payroll deductions. You can find your costs when you enroll through the Alera Group Benefits Center. Your life insurance premiums will never increase and are guaranteed to age 100. 

You can take this coverage with you if you leave Alera Group.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI)

To choose coverage, you may need to provide Evidence of Insurability (EOI) to prove that you are in good health. Your coverage will not be effective until Chubb approves your EOI (and coverage can be denied). You must submit EOI if you were hired before November 3, 2023, and choose any coverage amount.
