Long Term Care Annuities
Seven out of 10 Americans who turn 65 years old today will need some type of long-term care services in their remaining years, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Long-term care refers to services and support needed to meet health or personal care needs over an extended period of time and most often includes help getting dressed, bathing, using the bathroom and performing other activities of daily living.
A long term care annuity is long term care insurance that can help pay for Nursing Home, Assisted Living, and Home Health Care costs, tax-free. A long-term care rider is an optional benefit you can add to an annuity contract that helps cover long-term care expenses. You can access the benefit right away, and if you end up not needing it, you can pass it on to your beneficiaries.
Funding Options:
- 401k Rollovers
-IRA Rollovers
-TSP Rollovers
- Partial In Service Rollovers

*We adhere to strict suitability standards.
Please do not allocate more than 50% of your retirement portfolio to your annuity.
For example: Let's say you have $100,000 in a 401(k) account. The most you could use for your annuity deposit would be $50,000.00.
Our ultimate goal is not to only help you plan for the uncertainties of retirement, but to make sure you have an annuity that is suitable for your needs.
If however, an annuity is not the best fit for you, we will offer a suitable strategy that will fit your needs, goals and time horizon.
So please offer as much detail as possible.
*Note: If you have not already taken your RMDs for the year, you will need to do so before your broker/administrator will process the rollover. Doing so now will help expedite the process.
Would It Be A Great Benefit To Never Lose Money Ever Again?
Annuities help shift the risk of market volatility off your shoulders and onto the issuing insurance company.
Safer Alternatives To the Stock Market
Annuities are unique investment products that can help you save more for retirement, generate a guaranteed stream of income in retirement, or both. People saving for retirement may want to invest in an annuity after they have maxed out their 401(k) and IRA contributions. Assets in a fixed annuity offer a guaranteed rate of return for a number of years.
Why should I invest in a Deferred Annuity?
*Low minimum start up: $10,000
* Flexible Premium Option: $20,000 minimum startup with $100 a month
*Tax-deferred: All of the interest earnings accumulated in your annuity remain tax-sheltered until withdrawn.
*Flexibility: You can make a single contribution or a series of contributions whenever you’d like. There is no contribution limit.
*Lower tax bracket in retirement: Most people have a lower income in retirement than during their working years allowing your withdrawals to be taxed at a lower rate.
The practical financial implications of longer life spans must be incorporated into retirement plans. This means retirees will have to plan for longer (and thus greater) income needs and the possibility that expensive health-care treatment will eventually be needed as they get older.
MYGA
If you have a Certificate of Deposit, Money Market Fund, Savings Account, or any other taxable savings vehicle, how would you like to stop paying taxes on the interest until you actually take it out to spend?
Your NET return on these vehicles is drastically reduced by income taxes, even when you leave the interest in the account! For example, after federal and state income taxes are paid (33% assumed), 5% interest becomes 3.35%, 4% becomes 2.68% and 3.5% is only 2.35% NET!
When you factor in inflation over a long period of time, your savings and retirement programs are actually losing money.
Our financial services professionals are happy to share some ideas with you that will absolutely enhance your wealth accumulation by using an annuity. Don't delay!

The SECURE Act and RMDs
President Trump signed the SECURE Act into law on December 20th, 2019. With many provisions having gone into effect on January 1st, 2020, it will have big implications for retirement and taxes.
A qualified longevity annuity contract (QLAC) is a type of advanced life deferred annuity funded with an investment from a qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k), or an IRA. In 2020, an individual can use 25% or $135,000 (whichever is less) of their retirement savings account to buy a QLAC.
When you buy a QLAC, you subtract the amount you contribute from the total retirement assets that are used to calculate your RMDs, so you’ll defer taxes on the amount you invest in the QLAC until you start taking payouts. Meanwhile you’re guaranteeing a pension-like income stream later in life, reducing the risk you’ll have to withdraw money during a bear market and the bigger risk you’ll run out of money entirely.
Why use a QLAC?
Save on IRA RMD tax by allowing your IRA QLAC to defer RMD income until age 85
Medical expenses – as you age medical expenses become a larger portion of your monthly expenses – the income from QLAC can provide income for those expenses and help maintain your standard of living
Inflation – you can use the additional QLAC income into the future to help off-set inflation
Replace a pension or Social Security – if one spouse passes their pension/social Security may be reduced or even eliminated for the surviving spouse. Income from QLAC could help replace some of this lost income
Knowing that you have additional guaranteed income into the future gives you the confidence to have a stronger allocation to stock equities – over time this could provide more robust portfolio returns
Tax deferral of income you don’t want or need until a future date
The beauty of the longevity annuity is that the insurance company tells you today exactly how much income you will begin receiving in the future. There is no stock market or interest rate risk. The future income amount that’s quoted is guaranteed!
With a longevity annuity you get income security that starts in your old age and at an attractive price. Financial planners estimate that if you own a longevity annuity you can increase the amount you withdraw from your savings in the early years of retirement by as much as 30% because of the reassurance in knowing your income in later retirement is guaranteed by the annuity.
Another appeal of QLACs is that they are straightforward and transparent. They are easy to understand, they require only one upfront payment and have no annual fees.
Question.......
What is THE ORIGINAL ANNUITY?
Answer.........It's Social Security right? And people love Social Security.
Why? ..........Well, maybe because they've been paying into it since their first job and now that they are retired, now they get guaranteed monthly checks for the rest of their lives.
Well, isn't that how annuities work? You fund the annuity and in return you get guaranteed monthly income for the rest of your life. So that let's me know that people love annuities too. They just don't know it yet. But I'm working on it by hosting financial literacy seminars and webinars.
Today’s longer life expectancy is certainly worth celebrating, but it can pose a challenge when it comes to retirement planning. With an increasing span of retirement years and the potential for unexpected expenses, it may seem difficult to save up enough money to meet all your needs.
For some, the answer to this predicament is an annuity.

Don't Go Broke In a Nursing Home
As we prepare for retirement, we must be mindful that people are living much longer today.
In fact, 7 out of 10 of individuals 65 years old and above would need long term care. Will you?
The issues of aging and needing care is not just a problem of an individual. It’s impact is felt by the whole family.
To protect you and your family, learn about the latest cost of long term care in your area. Rates may vary depending on the state you live in.
According to The Association for Long Term Care Planning, the average annual cost for a Nursing Home - Private Room is $100,379.
It's important to have a Plan B, because Medicare does NOT pay for Long-Term Care costs. Medicare only pays for 100 days. After that, what's your Plan B? How will you pay for it and where will the money come from?
Annuities combined with a Long-Term Care Rider will not only provide you with guaranteed income, but peace of mind. Some annuities come with “nursing home doublers” that can help cover long-term care costs not covered by Medicare. Depending on the annuity, these double payments last for up to five years or until an annuity with the doubler drains its cash balance.
Before you retire, have a Plan B. At JenniferLangFinancialServices.com we work with over 150 life insurance companies to find you the best rate with the best coverage. Let us help you today.
An Annuity
To Protect Assets From Medicaid
A Medicaid Compliant Annuity is a single premium immediate annuity (SPIA) that contains zero cash value and provides income to the owner.
Properly structured, this annuity functions as a spend-down tool that eliminates excess countable assets, allowing the nursing home resident to become eligible for Medicaid benefits.
Our Annuity Services
When properly utilized, especially in combination with other financial investments like Social Security and pensions, annuities can be an excellent way to supplement a retiree’s income. However, the many types of annuities available and the complex nature of retirement investing means that trying to make sense of things without guidance could leave you open to making uninformed decisions that may not actually be to your benefit.
At Jennifer Lang Financial Services, LLC., we help you to understand all of your financial options, including annuities, and can advise you into which types and plans are most likely to benefit you. We facilitate purchase and payout and help you keep tabs on the stages and development of your annuity, so you know your financial status at any given moment. We recommend annuities as part of a custom-built investment plan, allowing our clients the opportunity to grow their funds while maintaining the flexibility to deal with changing life circumstances.
Fixed Index Annuities
This annuity falls somewhere between a fixed and a variable annuity. These annuities provide tax deferrals as well as principal protection, ensuring that the original deposit will not decrease if the index performs poorly. *
Fixed index annuities can offer greater opportunity for growth than a standard fixed annuity, but the principal protection provides less risk than a variable annuity. Spousal opportunities or beneficiary options may also be available, giving you the ability to financially protect your loved ones as well as yourself. For many working toward retirement, this balanced option provides a useful tool to supplement their income.
Conservative Financial Advisement
At Jennifer Lang Financial Services, our focus is on helping clients meet their financial goals and work toward the retirement they can look forward to. We use our years of experience to make informed recommendations, and steer clear of strategies that pose a high risk to your hard-earned capital.
