LONG TERM CARE

An Insurance Plan designed to protect your financial resources in retirement

The need to plan for long term care insurance is becoming increasingly more important.  Most people do not have the financial resources to pay for long term care and thus quickly deplete their savings when caring for an aging parent, spouse or child.  Long-term care insurance is being offered to PCA employees to help them preserve their financial security and independence.

Long-term care insurance will provide PCA employees with the financial resources to care for someone who has had a debilitating illness, injury or cognitive impairment.   Many people mistakenly think that health insurance or Medicaid will provide long-term care for them when needed.  Traditional health insurance only pays for care that is designed to improve or correct medical problems. Additionally, many people will not be able to qualify for Medicaid long term care, because they have too much income or assets.

In an effort to assist our ministry partners in planning for retirement, PCA Retirement Benefits, Inc. (RBI) has endorsed two long-term care insurance programs.

1) Unum Group Long Term Care Insurance Program

(Note: Ten or more participants are needed.  Please call RBI if your group of 3-9 is interested.)

A unique benefit of the Unum Long-Term Care Plan is that it provides guaranteed coverage for groups of 10 or more!  However, this group policy requires that the employer (a PCA church or church related organization) provide a small base level of coverage ($1,000) for all full-time employees.

Actively-at-work ministers, missionaries, and lay employees, and their spouses, sibling, children as well as parents and grandparents, are eligible to apply for long-term care insurance through Unum. 

To receive a quote for your church, please fill out the Census Form linked below.  Rates will be based on a church’s location, census and type of organization.
