Explanation
(This amendment provides funding to support the establishment of an education and awareness campaign regarding the benefits of long-term care (LTC) insurance. Federal long-term care partnership regulations permit state Medicaid programs to allow citizens to protect some of their assets even if they ultimately receive Medicaid for LTC services; Virginia has received approval to allow for long-term care partnerships. Citizens must have a “qualified” LTC insurance policy to qualify for asset protection. This is a recommendation of the Joint Commission on Health Care.)
