Alaska Statutes
Chapter 53. Long-term Care Insurance
Sec. 21.53.064. Nonforfeiture benefits.

(a) Except as provided in (b) of this section, a long-term care insurance policy may not be delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless the policyholder has been offered the option of purchasing a policy including a nonforfeiture benefit. The insurer may offer a nonforfeiture benefit in the form of a rider to the policy. If a policyholder declines the nonforfeiture benefit, the insurer shall provide a contingent benefit upon lapse that is available for a specified period of time following a substantial increase in premium rates.
(b) With respect to group long-term care insurance, an insurer shall make the offer required in (a) of this section to the group policyholder. For a policy issued as group long-term care insurance, other than a continuing care retirement community or other similar entity, the insurer shall make the offer required in (a) of this section to each proposed certificate holder.
