Effective June 1, 2016 in California, the MutualCare® Secure Solution product will have the following changes:
- Maximum Monthly Benefit will now be available for $1500-$10,000 (in $1 increments)
- Residential Care Facility and Home Care benefits will only allow for the option of 100%
In order to accommodate clients that wish to have a lower maximum monthly benefit, the MutualCare® Secure Solution product now offers a lower Maximum Monthly Benefit of $1,500. However, to meet state requirements, the Residential Care Facility and Home Care benefits can only be offered at 100% on that package. The good news for your clients is they still have the best of both worlds. If your clients want to dial down the Residential and Home Care benefits from 100%, they can still select this option on our MutualCare® Custom Solution product which still offers the Maximum Monthly Benefit minimum of $3,000.
