SolvencyOn July 15 the Congressional Budget Office rolled out
updated projections that show a precipitous decline in
Social Security's solvency. The program's 75-year deficit
has nearly quadrupled since 2008, and the trust fund's
exhaustion date has moved forward by nearly 20 years.
Remarkably, the response by progressives is to expand Social
Security's benefits while leaving its multi-trillion-dollar
unfunded obligations largely unaddressed.1
1Biggs, Andrew. “Liberals for Social Security InsolvencyDemocrats want to expand benefits even as the retiree program's finances worsen.” Wall Street Journal, 18 August 2014. 19 August 2014.http://online.wsj.com/articles/andrew-biggs-liberals-for-social-security-insolvency-1408403712
In dollar terms, the program would need an additional $15 trillion—in the bank today, earning interest—to pay full benefits over 75 years. For those in denial about the trust fund's insolvency: CBO projects a 90% chance that Social Security's trust fund will be exhausted by 2037.1
Today, CBO projects a 75-year deficit not of 1% of payroll but of 4%. And in place of its earlier prediction that the trust fund would remain solvent until midcentury, CBO today projects that it will run dry by 2030.1

Long-Term Care
Not your typical“night out”
conversation.
Night out with
Donna – Discuss
Long-Term Care

1. Those that have been caregivers.
2. Those that currently are caregivers.
3. Those that will be caregivers.
4. Those that will need caregivers.

4 Kinds of people
Addressing Long-Term Care
1) Rely Upon Family
2) Self Insure – Rely Upon Assets Accumulated
3) Long-Term Care Insurance
4) Hybrid Long-Term Care Concepts
Why Long-Term Care Matters
1.Provides Dignity Beyond $
2.Protect Assets
3.Helps Reduce Family
Disruption
4.Plans for Care of “Healthy”
Spouse
5.Supports Financial Plan
If you are not planning to rely on family or “self insure” – spending down your own assets to cover future long term care (LTC) expenses LTC insurance can be obtained through different funding instruments:
•Traditional stand-alone long-term care insurance(annual premiums – not fixed) – better known as “indemnity” plan.
Long-Term Care Policies Emergeo Nursing Home “Insurance”
o Mid ’70’s
o Insure Unknowns:
o Learning Curve for Carriers
o Today: Fewer Carriers/Steep Premiums Jumps
L: Longevity H: Our Health
Hybrid Plans EmergeLTC Benefits Funded By:
Non-qualified annuity
Life insurance (whole or universal life)
Qualified funds in traditional IRA (exception: Roth IRA)
How Are Hybrids Funded?
Single premium or multiyear premiums – or
combination
Rollover – transfer
IRA 1035 Exchange of values in annuity or life
insurance policy
Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) – know which ones trigger the
benefits
Compare and Contrast Cost or the LTC “benefit base/balance” at
various ages
Remember what you seeking to insure – a portion of your assets
Cost increases, or benefits derived shrink, as you become more
“seasoned”
Know in advance the “screening criteria” to be approved
(full medical exam or phone interview, or both)
Consider the benefits of an inflation rider
With Any LTC Policy – Consider Checkpoints:
Think about “worst case” “best case” scenarios in your
family situation.
Look at family longevity history
Know that LTC and health care costs rise at higher rate
than core inflation.
Know the catches (early surrender penalty … can you
get your premium back if circumstances changed?
More Considerations:
Consider what kind of care is most important to you in
relation to where you are now living, or could consider living
5, 10, 15 or 20 years from now.
Get opinions from people you know and trust, or others that
have purchased or receiving policy benefits.
Take your time. Because you are making a decision based
upon unknowns, explore how the decision and the investment
fits your overall financial plan and situation.
Finally:
Conclusion No “Silver Bullets”
Everyone’s situation and LTC needs are
different
Process – “Plan Centric”
Always Have “Unknowns”
Health Care Issues Remain
Industry Adapts – New Options (Hybrids)
