title: A guide to understanding long-term care insurance.
abstract: Long-term care insurance is an increasingly popular benefit that has a number of advantages for both employers and employees. This coverage can protect employee assets and retirement savings and can be offered as a tax-free benefit if the plan is qualified. The premiums can be tax-deductible to employees, and the benefit is portable, since the policy is owned by the employee.
