LTC Claims FAQs

Is your Long Term Care Policy or Certificate In-Force?
To verify that your policy or certificate is in-force, please contact us at 800.456.7766. You will need to have your social security number, date of birth and policy or certificate number available.

Who may initiate your Long Term Care Claim?

Who will manage your claim?
You or your legal representative. You are not required to elect an attorney-in-fact using a Power of Attorney.

Genworth recommends that you read and have a general understanding of your policy or certificate, as it outlines the specific requirements that you must meet before you may access your Long Term Care Benefits.

What are the eligibility requirements for your Care Provider(s)?
