Long Term Care Training Information Illinois Department of Insurance

There is a new training requirement for resident producers who sell or solicit any type of Long Term Care Insurance.

Resident producers are required to take a specific course entitled, “Long Term Care (Partnership)”, with a specific course number of 25008. This course is an eight (8) hour credit course that can be applied to a producer’s continuing education requirement. Upon completion of this course you will be presented with a certificate of completion, retain the original certificate for your records as the Department will not have a permanent record of this required course. You will be required to provide companies a copy of the certificate as evidence of your completion of this course.

Producers who are already licensed and have completed LTC course 09400 prior to July 01, 2008 will have one year from July 01, 2008 to complete the new required course 25008. Further, the producer is required to complete no less than four (4) continuing education hours of Long Term Care for each renewal period. Should Illinois become a Long Term Care Partnership state, these new requirements will satisfy education requirements for selling partnership policies.

Non-Resident producers who satisfy the LTC Partnership Program requirement in their state shall be deemed to satisfy the training requirements in this State.

Companies accepting LTC business from the producer must ensure that their producers have completed the required training.
