Long-Term Care ProgramThe CalPERS Long-Term Care Program offers long-term care benefits as an option to members. It is not a public employee-provided benefit and is entirely funded by enrollee premiums. Enrollment is open not only to the public employee, but to annuitants, spouses, parents, parents-in-law and adult siblings.
The plan is currently not accepting new enrollees.
Premium Increases
An independent analysis of the CalPERS Long-Term Care Program identified the need to raise premiums for enrollees in 2010 to maintain plan stability. CalPERS recognizes that an increase in premiums is difficult during these times of economic uncertainty, but is necessary to ensure future benefits are available when needed by our members.
