In reality with the way lapse rates are it is probably a seldom used benefit. But I find it surprising how much people like the idea of the benefit when told about it. I usually dont put it on the first quote I show, but I often mention it as an option just to put it out there and see if they like the idea of it.
It doesnt seem to add too much to the monthly premium, usually around $20 from what Ive found.
I see it kind of like the Partnership status. Sure most people who can afford to buy LTCI will probably not need the Partnership status... but if the sh*t hits the fan for some reason in retirement it is a nice safety net to have. (its insurance on top of insurance)
I guess with these rate stability regs, the rate stability of the partnership plans is less appealing ?

it all depends upon health hx, goals, state of residence, marital status, etc...
it all depends.
People do not lapse coverage; and the benefit derived from non- forfeiture is so minuscule there is no reason to increase the premium.
