If it was punitive damages for something they did wrong with LTC insurance, then yes, it is taxable. It also depends if this was a settlement for a qualified or non qualified contract. If it is a qualified contract, then no, it is not taxable. If it is not qualified, then yes, it is taxable.

As I understand it, this is to offset future increases and benefit reductions. Not a refund of past premiums paid. What are the tax consequences of this? My wife and I will get $6000 each. As an aside, what should I do with this "windfall?" We don't need the money, so dump into our investment account? Put it into the grandkid's 529? Or maybe take a nice Caribbean vacation!

The world’s population is aging at a faster rate than ever before and people are living longer. Every day until 2030, 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 65 a and 7 out of 10 people will require long term care in their lifetime. b

About Cost of Care Survey
Since 2004, Genworth has tracked the cost of long term care services nationwide to help families understand and plan for their long term care needs. The survey results have become the foundation for long term care planning. Get answers to frequently asked questions and additional details into the research methodology used for the Genworth Cost of Care Survey.
Frequently asked questions about the Cost of Care Survey
From September through December 2023, Genworth contacted 176,807 providers by phone to complete 11,867 surveys of nursing homes, assisted living facilities, adult day health facilities and home care providers.
Surveyors polled 14 percent of home health care providers, resulting in 3,593 completed surveys.
Surveyors polled 6 percent of adult day health care facilities, resulting in 600 completed surveys.
Surveyors polled 15 percent of licensed assisted living facilities, resulting in 3,739 completed surveys.
Surveyors polled 13 percent of certified and licensed nursing homes, resulting in 3,935 completed surveys.
Potential respondents were selected from CareScout's nationwide database of providers, supplemented with additional providers in each category of long term care services. Survey respondents represent all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Following the 2021 survey, the United States continued to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we saw shifts in the long-term care space. Genworth made the decision to recalibrate our Cost of Care Survey and methodology to align with consumer needs and the current state of the industry.
The Genworth Cost of Care Survey publishes costs in 429 regions based on the 382 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
Since the inception of the survey, Genworth has followed industry guidance with representing 44 hours as the estimated number of hours per week for professional inhome caregivers. Since we understand that everyone’s situation may vary based on the degree of required care, you can use the “Change weekly In-Home Care hours” section (located below the Cost of Care table) to adjust the number of hours from 7 hours per week to a maximum of 168 hours (24 hours of care / 7 days a week) to better represent your care needs.
CareScout is a wholly owned subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc (NYSE: GNW). CareScout helps older adults and their families navigate the aging journey and find quality care. To learn more about CareScout, visit www.CareScout.com .
