the basics
The LTC Plan provides a safety net to help you afford long term care if you experience the need for care. With this insurance coverage, you decide the level of coverage you wish to purchase.
- The coverage includes a monthly maximum benefit and a lifetime maximum benefit.

- This coverage is portable, so if you retire or leave Chevron, your coverage continues if you continue to timely pay the premiums.

- Nursing home
- Assisted-living facility
- Inpatient hospice care
- At-home hospice care
- Home care
- Adult day care
