Hybrid Long-Term Care Strategy

OneAmerica Asset Care

The Only Joint Lifetime Unlimited Solution

Why Asset Care is the “Gold Standard” for Retirement

Most retirees are unaware that traditional Long-Term Care insurance has a “use-it-or-lose-it” flaw. If you pay premiums for 20 years and never need care, that money is gone. OneAmerica Asset Care solves this by utilizing a Whole Life insurance chassis. This means your premium is an asset, not an expense. If you never need a day of care, your heirs receive a tax-free death benefit, effectively refunding your investment.

Furthermore, Asset Care is the only major hybrid policy in the United States that offers a Lifetime Unlimited benefit for couples. While other carriers cap your care at 3 or 6 years, OneAmerica ensures that in the event of a long-term cognitive impairment like Alzheimer’s, the checks continue to arrive for as long as you live. It is the only strategy built to protect against the “Tail Risk”—the catastrophic 10+ year care event that can vaporize a lifetime of savings.

Unlimited Duration

Standard policies are “bucket” systems—once the money is gone, you are on your own. OneAmerica provides an infinite safety net for life.

IRA/401(k) Funding

Utilize “Lazy Money” in your qualified accounts. OneAmerica often adds a 20% credit to transfers, making your tax-deferred dollars work harder.

Fixed Premiums

Unlike traditional LTC that can raise rates, Asset Care premiums are contractually guaranteed to never increase for the life of the policy.

The “Claim Secret”: Understanding ADLs

Insurance companies don’t pay out based on a medical diagnosis (like “Stage 2 Cancer” or “Broken Hip”). They pay based on your functional ability. Specifically, you trigger benefits when a physician certifies you cannot perform 2 of the 6 Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) or you have a severe cognitive impairment.
