3 Consider Benefit Period Alternatives To traditional “Lifetime and Compound inflation combo” below age 65: − Consider the benefit amount − Maximize benefit access today as well as tomorrow − What is an appropriate benefit period? The average length of need for LTC stay is 2.6 years* Only 11.4% of John Hancock’s claims are expected to exceed a 6-year benefit* Industry- 9% expected to exceed 5 year benefit period To traditional “Lifetime and Compound inflation combo” below age 65: − Consider the benefit amount − Maximize benefit access today as well as tomorrow − What is an appropriate benefit period?
