## Resource

Philip Snyder, Senior Vice President at The Warner Companies, breaks down one of retirement's most overlooked needs: long-term care. With roughly 70% of retirees expected to need care, Philip explains why a pension or Thrift Savings Plan alone won't cover it, why nursing home costs rising above inflation make early planning essential, and how today's hybrid life insurance policies build cash value and pass unused benefits to beneficiaries. Practical guidance for federal employees and everyday Americans on how—and when—to fund the care they may one day need.
