Update to the Premier Underwriting Guide

Update to the Premier Underwriting Guide At NGL, we adapt our LTCi underwriting practices as medical science continues to evolve and more information becomes available. We have identified scenarios where it may be acceptable for an applicant to have two first-degree relatives with dementia.

Some scenarios may be acceptable and others will not, depending on the details. We have updated our Premier Underwriting Guide to reflect this.

Unfortunately, they don’t receive the same protection as their “working spouse.” Many companies do not offer disability income insurance coverage on non-working spouses. This means if they were to fall ill, their inability to perform their vital tasks could have critical financial implications for
