One America's Annuity Care
 
Product Summary  
  Annuity Care is an SPDA offering clients access to funds which can be used for reimbursement for LTC expenses. The LTC Accumulated Value is credited at a higher interest rate than the Cash Value Maximizer rate. Underwriting is more lenient than with regular LTC insurance policies.

Annuity Care has all the benefits of a regular SPDA, plus it provides for the reimbursement for LTC expenses on a FIFO basis i.e. tax free. That benefit is especially advantages for the client who has annuities that have value substantially over their cost basis.

Notes  
  Unless there are joint owners it is recommended that the owner and the annuitant be the same person. It is better that the owner be an actual person.

If the annuity is being purchased in anticipation of future LTC expenses it is not recommended to use the annuity for current expenses as they would be LIFO and therefore taxable.
