Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Per DIFS Long-Term Care Partnership disclosure (FIS_2310), qualified policies issued after December 31, 2007 must include compound annual inflation protection for purchasers age 60 and under, some level of inflation protection for purchasers from ages 61 to 75, and inflation protection that is optional for purchasers age 76 and older. A 65-year-old purchaser falls in the 61 to 75 band, so the policy must carry some level of inflation protection.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Compound annual inflation protection is required only for purchasers age 60 and under.
- C) Inflation protection is not optional at this age band; some level must be included for ages 61 to 75.
- D) The required level is set by the purchaser's age band under the Partnership rules, not by insurer underwriting.
Memory hook
Partnership inflation: 60 and under compounds, 61 to 75 some, 76 and up optional.
