The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP)
Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management
Long term care is personal care and other related support services provided on an extended basis to people who need help with specific everyday activities (called activities of daily living) or who need supervision due to a severe cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer's disease. Long term care can be expensive, and many people are including long term care insurance as part of their financial and retirement plan.
The Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) was created by The Long-Term Care Security Act of 2000, which was signed by President Clinton in September of that year as Public Law 106-625. The legislation, which enjoyed bipartisan support:
- authorizes the FLTCIP as a government-wide voluntary benefits program
- designates the U.S. Office Of Personnel Management (OPM) as the sponsoring entity and regulatory agency
- provides for additional oversight by Congress to ensure competitiveness, design and development of the coverage, marketing and education, and underwriting and administration
