How the Plan Works

Coverage under the Long-Term Care Insurance program is completely voluntary and provided by New York Life. You may enroll at any time during the year directly with New York Life by calling 1-631-845-0936 (not online when you make your Zebra benefit plan elections).

You have the option to purchase additional insurance coverage to help offset the potentially high cost of long-term care. This coverage has many advantages including:
