Introducing New Eligibility for Same-Sex Domestic Partners
Same-sex domestic partners of eligible Federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants can apply for coverage under the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP) as qualified relatives.
You must be in an eligible group to apply for coverage under the FLTCIP. The FLTCIP is medically underwritten, which means that certain medical conditions, or combinations of conditions, will prevent some people from being approved for coverage. If you are in an eligible group, you will need to apply to find out if you can enroll in the FLTCIP.
