We need to encourage our representatives and senators to become cosponsors. Another issue we want to update you on is the long term care insurance program. No, you have not received a mailing about this program. Progress has been made on the program. Approval from the Illinois Department of Insurance is expected any day now.
Legal issues are very close to being resolved.
Yes, we are taking steps to protect SUAA from liability of any kind and taking steps to protect your confidentiality. For example, we want to make sure that our membership list is used only for providing you with information about the SUAA long term care insurance program. Membership is going well. I congratulate all of you who have worked on membership this year. We need to keep working to increase the proportion of annuitants who are members.
