When you compare long-term care solutions, consider these

important facts about Lincoln MoneyGuard Reserve (a universal

life policy with long-term care benefits).

Fact 1: There is no elimination or deductible period for home

healthcare —

Since many clients start long-term care with home healthcare

it can make a real difference in the total out-of-pocket cost to the client.

Fact 2: Clients can purchase Lincoln MoneyGuard Reserve up

to age 80 —

Not all solutions are available for older ages.

Fact 3: It has inflation options to hedge against rising costs —

This is

especially advantageous for clients 60 and younger. They can protect against

future escalated expenses and build a larger reserve of LTC benefits.

Fact 4: A simple money back guarantee —

Lincoln MoneyGuard Reserve

features a simple, lifetime Return of Premium Rider. If at any time

a client has a change of heart, the client can request a return of premium.

1

Fact 5: Flexible or single premiums —

Your clients will have the financial

flexibility to choose the payment option that suits their needs.

Fact 6: The client’s benefits are tax-advantaged —

Consider the tax

implications of your LTC protection recommendation. Not all products meet

the federal criteria for “qualified long-term care insurance.” Lincoln MoneyGuard

Reserve does, and your client’s reimbursements for qualified long-term care are

income tax-free.

2

Fact 7: A residual death benefit is included in every policy —

There’s no

red tape and no need to opt in. It is available to every client and will not be less

than 10% of the specified amount of death benefit, unless loans or withdrawals

are taken.

Fact 8: Lincoln has provided linked-benefit UL with LTC benefits

since 1988 —

With more than 60,000 policies in-force, Lincoln has a history

of customer-focused service and claims-paying ability.

1 The client would be refunded the amount, less any benefits paid or any loans or withdrawals taken,

and it may have tax implications.

2Long-term care reimbursements are generally income tax-free under IRC Section 104(a)(3).
