New Benefit: Life Insurance with Long-Term Care Coverage

Jul 21, 2026
As a valued member of the Illinois State Dental Society, you have access to an exclusive benefit designed to protect your family's financial future — Group Term to Age 100 Life Insurance with Long-Term Care Coverage, offered through The Standard.

Why This Matters

53 million Americans are currently providing unpaid care for a loved one. Planning ahead for long-term care needs isn't just smart — it's one of the most meaningful financial decisions you can make for your family. This benefit combines life insurance protection with a long-term care rider in a single, affordable policy.

Product Highlights

  • Guaranteed Issue — No Medical Questions. Eligible members can enroll without health underwriting during the initial enrollment period. No exams, no health history required.
  • Dual Purpose Coverage in One Policy. Life insurance death benefit combined with an Accelerated Death Benefit rider for Long-Term Care — two protections in one premium.
  • Guaranteed Level Premiums to Age 100. Rates are locked at your issue age and guaranteed never to increase, making budgeting simple and predictable.
  • Portable Coverage. This policy stays with you at the same rate even if you retire, change employers, or leave the association.
  • Restoration of Benefits. After using your LTC benefit, the death benefit is restored to its original amount.
  • Spouse/Partner Coverage Available. Spouses (ages 18–70) may also enroll for up to $30,000 in guaranteed issue coverage under a separate certificate.
  • No medical underwriting — Guaranteed Issue means most members qualify regardless of health history, provided they are actively at work 20 or more hours per week between the ages of 18 and 70 today.
  • Indemnity payout — No receipts required; benefits paid directly to you when a claim is triggered

Next Steps

Enrollment opens in August for eligible ISDS members. In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more. Don't miss the guaranteed issue window — late entrants will require Evidence of Insurability.
