Learn about Nebraska's new Long-Term Care Savings Plan and insights for Minnesota
Nebraska State Treasurer Shane Osborn and Trent Fellers, Director of the Nebraska State Long-Term Care Savings Plan, will present a new option to help Nebraskans live the good life, longer. The Nebraska Long-Term Savings Plan is the country's first to offer tax incentives for people to save and pay for future long-term care expenses, personally direct savings on choices from technology to home services to insurance and more, and transfer unused benefits to beneficiaries.
Why do we need new solutions?
- How we currently finance aging services in Minnesota is unsustainable, especially as people desire new and different options for care.
- Minnesota spent nearly $600 million in public funds last year for long-term care: In 2007, 68.8 percent of public care funds for seniors in Minnesota were spent on nursing home care, and 31.2 percent of funds were spent on community services (MN Dept. of Human Services).
- We could spend $20 billion in total state and federal dollars in Minnesota by 2050 . . . if the status quo remains (MN Transform 2010 Report).
Presented by Ecumen, the Citizens League, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the 2020 Conference.
