Here are the same charts as were on previous pages with the addition of the Partnership information.

One of the numerous benefits of a partnership policy is that it allows you to keep an equal amount of money as you had in long term care insurance benefits and still qualify for Medi-Cal rather than having to spend-down your savings to meet Medi-Cal requirements (which now is $2,000).

For example if your long term care insurance benefits totalled $250,000 and you exausted the benefits, like everyone else you can keep $2000 in cash, plus because you had a Partnership policy you can keep an additional $250,000 and qualify for Medi-Cal benefits. Wouldn't your lifestyle be better with $252,000 than $2,000?
