Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why A is correct
Illinois regulates traditional long-term care insurance and LTC Partnership policies under the same framework: 215 ILCS 5/351A-1 and the sections through 5/351A-11 supply the statutory standards, while 50 Ill. Adm. Code 2012 supplies the administrative rules. The Illinois Department of Insurance supervises both product types; the Partnership program adds qualification requirements on top of the base LTC rules rather than replacing them.
Why the other options are wrong
- B) Traditional LTC policies are not exempt; 215 ILCS 5/351A-1 and 50 Ill. Adm. Code 2012 apply to all LTC insurance, Partnership or not.
- C) Illinois LTC standards are not limited to buyers over 65; the regulation covers the product itself regardless of the purchaser's age.
- D) The Illinois Department of Insurance is the enforcing agency for the LTC article and rule Part; the product is squarely within its oversight.
Memory hook
One LTC rulebook for both kinds: traditional and Partnership alike.
