Today, the waves has passed, the Act was paused… Continue reading

OneAmerica’s Consumer Survey
If you weren’t paying attention to this week’s LTC Coffee Break, I shared with you a bit about our recently released LTC Consumer Survey.

New Jersey Follow-up
These past couple of weeks, I have spend time in New Jersey meeting with agents, advisors, their clients, and the brokerage agencies who partner the OneAmerica.
