OPM Extends FLTCIP Application Suspension for 24 Months

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management is extending the pause on applications to the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP). - Government buyer: U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM); no sub-agency or office is specified. - Program: Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP). - Extension: The application suspension continues for an additional 24 months. - Impact: No new applications will be accepted, and current enrollees cannot apply to increase their coverage during the suspension. - Current enrollees: Enrollment status and benefit eligibility remain unchanged. Coverage and claims reimbursement for enrollees already in claim status are unaffected. - Reason: OPM cites continued volatility in long-term care costs and contraction of the insurance market. - Procurement: This is not a procurement request; no OEMs, vendors, products, quantities, or services are identified.
