AFA Voluntary Long-Term Care Insurance Special Enrollment:
August 14 – September 29  


Many Flight Attendants either know someone who has navigated the challenges of caregiving or have experienced it personally. They're aware of the rising costs associated with long-term care and the lack of insurance support for it.

Long-term care encompasses services required when individuals can't care for themselves and need significant medical assistance. This may include home health, nursing home, or skilled facility care. Unlike standard medical care, it focuses on aiding with basic daily tasks like personal hygiene, dressing, mobility, and feeding.  Such services can be costly, but with the security of our long-term care protection, both you and your spouse can be better prepared.

As an AFA member, you can explore a diverse range of Long-Term Care (LTC) solutions.  AFA-CWA is providing an additional opportunity with long-term care solutions to help manage these costs. Our Marketplace offers products that ease the physical, financial, and emotional strain of extended care needs. Plus, all members have access to free caregiving resources, even if they opt not to purchase the long-term care coverage.

Key benefits in this Marketplace program include a variety of long-term care insurance options and one with guaranteed underwriting for qualifying members. Some of the highlighted features in the Marketplace offering features:

• Comprehensive Coverage: Ensures care at home, in community settings, assisted living, or nursing homes.
