✅ Who Should Take This Course?

• West Virginia licensed resident insurance producers renewing a license with long-term care authority
• Producers who need 8 approved hours toward the 24-hour West Virginia requirement
• Agents who want current, practical initial ltc partnership training knowledge, not filler credit
• New producers building a working foundation in this coverage area
• Experienced agents refreshing before a renewal deadline
• Agency staff who support producers and want the same technical grounding

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course is designed to satisfy the one-time initial long-term care insurance training required before selling long-term care products, and it provides 8 approved credit hours toward the 24-hour West Virginia renewal total. It does not satisfy the full renewal requirement or the 3-hour ethics requirement.

✅ West Virginia Continuing Education Requirements

West Virginia resident insurance producers complete 24 credit hours of approved continuing education during each two-year compliance period, and at least 3 of those hours must be ethics credit. The compliance period is coextensive with the license period, so a producer's CE deadline is the same as the license expiration date. West Virginia does not cap self-study or online hours, which means an approved online course can be used for any part of the 24-hour total.

• 24 credit hours of approved continuing education per biennial compliance period
• 3 of those 24 hours must be in ethics — ethics hours cannot be met with general credit
• The remaining 21 hours may be general or elective insurance credit
• No self-study cap. West Virginia does not limit how many of the 24 hours may be completed by approved self-study or online instruction
• Producers who sell long-term care insurance must complete a one-time 8-hour LTC training and at least 4 hours of ongoing LTC training each biennium thereafter
• Producers who sell annuities must complete a one-time 4-hour annuity training
• Up to 6 excess credit hours may be carried into the next biennium; ethics and long-term care hours do not carry over as ethics or LTC credit

How this course helps: This 8-hour course is the one-time initial long-term care training a producer completes before selling, soliciting or negotiating long-term care insurance, and it covers the Qualified State Long-Term Care Partnership content that training must include. It also provides 8 approved credit hours toward your 24-hour West Virginia renewal total. It does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement, and ongoing long-term care training is still required in each later cycle.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

West Virginia resident producer licenses are issued on a biennial cycle and expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month. Continuing education must be complete by that expiration date. Because approved providers are allowed up to 30 days to file completion rosters with the state, the Insurance Commissioner advises producers not to wait until the final weeks — a course finished fewer than 30 days before expiration may not post in time for the renewal to process. There is no grace period to keep transacting business after expiration, although a separate late-renewal path exists for up to twelve months after the expiration date.

✅ How to Renew Your License

Step 1: Confirm your license type and expiration date

Check your West Virginia license record for your exact expiration date — the last day of your birth month — and confirm which lines of authority you hold.

Step 2: Review your current CE transcript

Look at your continuing education transcript to see how many general and ethics hours are already posted for the current biennium, and what is still outstanding.

Step 3: Complete the full 24 hours, including 3 ethics hours

Finish all required coursework before your expiration date. Ethics credit must come from courses approved in the ethics category.

Step 4: Allow time for provider reporting

Approved providers have up to 30 days to report completions. Finish your coursework at least 30 days before expiration so the credit posts before you renew.

Step 5: Verify the credits posted

Re-check your CE transcript and confirm that every course appears with the correct hour count and category before you start the renewal.

Step 6: Submit your renewal and pay the fee

File your producer renewal electronically through the state's designated licensing system, or by the paper renewal application the Commissioner accepts, and pay the renewal fee.

Step 7: Save your records and confirm active status

Keep your completion certificates — West Virginia requires licensees to retain them for at least four years — and verify your license shows an active status with an updated expiration date.

• How Qualified State Long-Term Care Partnership programs provide Medicaid asset disregard
• Which policies qualify for Partnership status and how reciprocity works between states

✅ 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.
