Temporary Cessation of Applications for
Washington LTC Products
Washington residents must have their own LTC coverage by October 31, 2021 if they intend to apply for an exemption from the Washington LTC payroll tax law.
Due to the extremely high volume of submissions for life insurance products with long-term care coverage in Washington, we are experiencing long processing times. We are working to process the business but can make no assurances that new or pending submissions will be issued in time to meet the Oct. 31, 2021 WA deadline. Please reach out to your WA clients with pending applications to communicate this information.
New Submission Information:
- For Pacific PremierCare® Choice1 products in WA, applications must be received by the home office in good order by Aug. 13, 2021. No new WA applications will be accepted after Aug. 13, 2021.
- For life insurance products with the Premier LTC Rider2 in WA, our prior bulletin associated with increasing our minimum face amount generated a high volume of pending applications. As such, we are no longer accepting new applications for life insurance with the LTC Rider in WA, effective immediately.
- Note: For both Pacific PremierCare Choice and life insurance products with the LTC Rider in WA, submissions must be paid by Oct. 29, 2021 to be placed in-force by the WA deadline. Pacific Life plans to resume taking applications in WA for life insurance with long-term care coverage in November.
Please contact your Pacific Life representative for details. |
