• Producers who intend to sell, solicit or negotiate long-term care insurance in Nebraska

• Producers who have not yet completed the one-time eight-hour initial training

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course is designed to satisfy Nebraska's one-time initial long-term care training requirement, which Neb. Rev. Stat. 44-4521 sets at no less than eight hours. It does not satisfy the separate four-hour ongoing training that follows every twenty-four months, and it does not satisfy Nebraska's 3-hour ethics requirement. Both are available separately.

✅ Nebraska Continuing Education Requirements

Nebraska producers renew on a two-year cycle. The Department states that twenty-four hours is the maximum number of continuing education hours required for any license type combination, and that every licensee must complete a minimum of 3 hours of ethics in order to renew. Limited lines carry smaller totals.

• Up to 24 hours of continuing education per two-year renewal period, depending on your license type combination
• A minimum of 3 hours of ethics, required of every licensee
• Long-term care producers: a one-time initial training course of no less than 8 hours
• Long-term care producers: an ongoing training course of no less than 4 hours every 24 months thereafter
• Completions are uploaded by the provider; the Department will not accept certificates submitted by licensees
• Providers are allowed 10 days to upload, and renewal eligibility begins 24 hours after the upload posts

How this course helps: This 8-hour course is designed to satisfy Nebraska's one-time initial long-term care training requirement in full, and the same 8 hours count toward your renewal total — up to 24 hours depending on your license type combination. It does not cover the 3-hour ethics requirement, and it does not replace the 4-hour ongoing long-term care training due every 24 months thereafter.

✅ When Do Nebraska Licensees Renew?

Nebraska producer licenses run on a two-year cycle. The renewal window opens 90 days before your expiration date, but it opens only after your education requirements have been met. Because the Department makes you eligible 24 hours after your completion is uploaded, and providers are allowed up to 10 days to upload, finishing your continuing education well before the deadline is the difference between renewing comfortably and renewing in a hurry. Check your own license record for your exact expiration date.

✅ How to Renew Your Nebraska License

1. Confirm your license type and expiration date — Sign in to your Nebraska Department of Insurance record and check your license type combination, status, expiration date and the hours already on file.
2. Complete the initial long-term care training — Finish this 8-hour course before you sell, solicit or negotiate long-term care insurance. Nebraska treats it as a one-time requirement.
3. Complete your remaining hours and your ethics — Finish the balance of your renewal total, including the minimum 3 hours of ethics that every licensee must have.
4. Allow time for the upload to post — 1st Choice CE uploads your completion for you. Providers have up to 10 days, and eligibility begins 24 hours after the upload posts.
5. Renew through the Department — Once your education is on file, the renewal window opens 90 days before expiration. Complete the renewal and pay the fee shown on your renewal notice.
6. Verify the result — Save your receipt and confirm your license record shows an active status with the updated expiration date.

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – Purpose, Scope and Foundations of LTC and Partnership Programs

What long-term care is and the policy problem it addresses. Covers the NAIC Long-Term Care Model Act and Regulation, the federal framework behind the Partnership program, the stakeholders involved, and the training expectations for the initial eight-hour course and the ongoing four-hour refresher.

Hour 2 – Medicaid Eligibility, Spend-Down and Partnership Asset Disregards

Medicaid financial eligibility and the spend-down pathways a family faces without coverage. Covers the Partnership asset disregard and the difference between dollar-for-dollar and total-asset models, estate recovery, and the role of state Medicaid agencies together with the consumer disclosures Partnership policies require.

Hour 3 – LTC Insurance Basics: Policy Types, Benefits and Triggers

Traditional stand-alone policies contrasted with hybrid designs, and the benefit triggers — activities of daily living and cognitive impairment — that start a claim. Covers benefit amount, benefit period and elimination period design, the care settings and services covered, inflation protection options, and the optional features worth considering.

Hour 4 – Consumer Protections, Suitability and Ethical Sales to Older Adults

Required disclosures and the suitability standards that apply to every LTC sale. Covers ethical communication with seniors in clear language, replacement rules and how to compare existing coverage while preserving accrued benefits, prevention of unfair trade practices and elder financial abuse, and proper complaint handling.

Hour 5 – Underwriting, Pricing, Rate Stability and Claims

Medical underwriting basics and the premium factors that drive cost. Covers rate stability concepts and why increases occur, the options available to a policyholder facing a premium increase, and the claims process from notice of claim through care coordination, case management and the role of licensed practitioners.

Hour 6 – Tax Treatment, HIPAA-Qualified LTC and Coordination of Benefits

HIPAA tax-qualified LTC contracts and the requirements for benefit eligibility. Covers federal and common state tax treatment of premiums and benefits, interactions with Medicare, coordination with private health insurance, the coordination issues that arise with hybrids and multiple policies, and documentation practices for these discussions.

Hour 7 – Planning Integration, Affordability Strategies and Caregiver Dynamics

Integrating long-term care with retirement and estate planning, including realistic funding sources. Covers affordability levers such as adjusting benefit period, daily benefit and elimination period; household and caregiver considerations including respite benefits; plain-language trade-off discussions; responses to post-issue health changes; and building an annual review cadence.

Hour 8 – State Nuances, Advertising and Market Conduct, and Capstone Case Studies

State-specific Partnership nuances including reciprocity, and what counts as advertising under market conduct rules. Covers documentation mastery from needs-analysis summary through file retention, elder-justice safeguards and red-flag recognition, applied case studies with written rationales, and a final compliance checklist for Partnership sales.
