Long-Term Care

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING LONG-TERM CARE:

Effective January 1, 2012, enrollment for the university's group long-term care insurance through John Hancock was discontinued.

Please note, the decision not to accept new entrants does not, in any way, affect employees or dependents who already have this coverage.  Payroll deductions (or bill at home) will continue. John Hancock will continue to provide ongoing service to insureds under our policy.


What is Long-Term Care?
