  • Maximize your clients’ benefits
    For couples, the Shared Benefit on the enhanced Privileged Choice Flex 3 product offers a great way to optimize their benefits. With this optional benefit, couples can combine their benefits and either spouse or partner can access those benefits when they need them.

    Unique to Genworth, if one of the spouses or partners uses all of the benefits, the other one will have access to half of their coverage amount even though it was already used if they have a long term care need. Check out this case study to see an example of how the Shared Benefit could work for your clients.
