WASHINGTON (Feb. 21, 2020) — The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) approved the Long-Term Care Information Data Call fiscal during its meeting at the 2020 Commissioners Conference. This information data call will be used to gather information on the existence and degree of cross-state subsidization of different approaches when considering long-term care rate increases in each state. The vendor selected for this engagement will begin its work in the next several weeks and is expected to complete the data call by the end of June 2020. Their report to the Long-Term Care Insurance (EX) Task Force will be presented no later than the NAIC’s 2020 Summer National Meeting.

The insurance company receives data on your driving which, in turn, helps to determine the amount you pay for coverage. This is a reality today for some—it’s called usage-based insurance (UBI) or telematics and increasing numbers of insurers are offering this option. If you’re thinking of signing up, make sure to thoroughly understand the program, including the pros and cons.

The model now requires agents and carriers act with “reasonable diligence, care and skill” in making recommendations.

When it comes to receiving life insurance benefits after a friend or relative has died, most beneficiaries are unprepared, with Millennials and GenZ among the least ready, according to a new survey by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).
