Alabama Long-Term Care Training Requirement

Effective March 1, 2009 a Long-Term Care training requirement will be in effect for producers in Alabama. Any currently licensed producer has until December 31, 2009 to complete their initial long-term care training.

Alabama Bulletin No. 2009-01 outlines these new producer training requirements.

Below is the Alabama long-term care training requirement as published by the state Department of Insurance:

An individual who is newly licensed on or after March 1, 2009, may not sell, solicit, or negotiate long-term care insurance unless the individual is authorized as an insurance producer for accident and health or sickness and has completed a one-time eight (8) hour training course. Those individuals who are currently licensed have until December 31, 2009, to obtain the the one-time eight (8) hour training course. Ongoing training of not less than four (4) hours every 24 months will be required during the biennial renewal cycle thereafter. Thus, prior to such time, an insurance producer for accident and health or sickness selling long-term care insurance including Partnership Policies will not be considered to have satisfied these requirements until the training accomplished.
