Reminder: LTCI Agent Guidelines for Multiple-State Sales

July 6, 2026

For long term care insurance (LTCI), the policy will be issued based on the owner’s resident state. Policy delivery is required in the same state.

Your compliance with applicable laws and guidelines helps process cases more efficiently and may help protect you from possible state action for conducting business without a proper license or appointment.
