Thank You from ManhattanLife! First of all, thank you for taking the time to read our Home Health Care Select Agent Guide! We realize that you have many carrier and product options to choose from and we sincerely thank you for choosing ManhattanLife! Who We Are Who is ManhattanLife? Since 1850, we’ve defined our brand with our commitment to standing by policyholders and producers with diligence and compassion. For over 170 years we’ve been a private and closely held company by choice. And as an independent, we have always been free to make decisions that align with our values and core mission — helping policyholders attain and sustain health, wealth and security throughout their lives. We demonstrate this commitment by striving to honor claims and pay benefits with professionalism and care. For our producers, we are a reliable and independent partner. We stay agile and open minded about customizing products or innovating new policies to meet our policyholders’ evolving needs. With a national footprint and licenses to sell in every state and U.S. territory, we are everywhere you want us to be. The Company’s longevity as staying independent in the marketplace is remarkable considering the robust merger and acquisition activity the industry has experienced in modern times. To put its staying power in context, the current average age of S&P 500 Index companies is less than 20 years old. By contrast, operating successfully for over 170 years as an independent is a testimony to ManhattanLife’s enduring history and an indicator of the reliability of our future. The Purpose The purpose of this Agent Guide is to provide insights into the benefits available with Home Health Care Select. In addition, this agent guide should provide direction on topics such as state availability, submitting applications, underwriting process, application fees & rates, preventing processing delays and much more.

Why Home Health Care Select? Health. Value. Peace Of Mind. If possible, wouldn’t your client rather recuperate from an injury or chronic illness in the comfort of their own home? A sudden illness, injury, or debilitating chronic condition can happen to any individual at any age. ManhattanLife’s Home Health Care Select Insurance is an affordable solution that provides both the flexibility and financial support insureds need to recover at home, surrounded by those they love. These plans can also minimize financial stress, allowing individuals to focus on their own personal recovery. Plan Description & Highlights The Home Health Care Select Insurance policy is designed for beneficiaries that would prefer to seek and receive care in the comfort of their own home versus entering a nursing home. Benefits under this policy are payable regardless of any other coverage your client may have, including Medicare. Home Health Care Select Insurance is available with three different levels of coverage: Classic, Premier and Deluxe. Optional Riders are also available with additional coverage options. (Please see the Policy and/or Outline of Coverage for specific benefits and state- specific details.) General benefit highlights for Classic, Premier and Deluxe are listed in the chart on the next page. • Home Health Care Benefit: Payment up to the daily maximum benefit, subject to eligibility conditions, for approved services provided in the home from an Approved Home Health Care Practitioner. • Home Health Care Aide Benefit: Daily benefit, subject to eligibility conditions, for each day you require Home Health Care Aide services in your home. Maximum benefit period of 60 days. • Prescription Drug Benefit: Prescription benefit for both generic and brand scripts limited to the maximum benefit amount per policy year. • The Maximum Benefit Period for Home Health Care and Aide benefits will be restored if benefits have not been paid or required for 180 consecutive days.

Benefit Changes Request to change the Home Health Care (Classic, Premier, or Deluxe) plan will be processed as an internal replacement. An Internal replacement is processed as a new policy and will require a newly completed application with full underwriting. For internal replacements, we will use the same underwriting criteria; however, we will also use our claims database to assist in determining the risk of an applicant. The writing agent will not receive full commissions on internal replacement policies. Request to remove benefit riders can be done at any time. All requests must be submitted to our office in writing. Once a benefit has been removed, a new application is required to re-enroll. All benefit changes are subject to policy provisions and changes in premium amounts. For more information, please contact our Customer Service Department or your insurance agent.

Submitting Paper Applications As stated above, we always suggest submitting applications through ManhattanDirect 2.0, as we have found processing times are generally quicker. We do, however, understand there may be times when this simply isn’t possible. In the event a paper application has to be submitted, the agent needs to complete the application with the applicant actively engaged throughout the process. The agent can either be at the same physical location as the applicant/owner, or the application can be processed over the phone. Regardless of how the application process takes place, both the applicant/owner and the agent must physically sign the document. Therefore, if the application is completed over the phone, the agent must fax or send the application to the applicant/owner to obtain their signature before submitting it to ManhattanLife for processing. Below are options for getting paper applications to ManhattanLife for processing. Instructions provided below. Easy Upload Feature The Easy Upload tool can be used to upload applications rather than mailing or faxing them. Please note currently Easy Upload will only accept PDF files. Therefore, the application must be scanned and converted to a PDF to be attached. There are step-by-step instructions located in the “Help” section found to the left of the Easy Upload area within the Agent Resource Center. It should be noted that in order to submit via Easy Upload, you must be logged into our ManhattanDirect 2.0 system. The Easy Upload feature can be found on the home page of the Agent Resource Center(ARC) and was created to enable the submission of paper applications, rather than mailing or faxing

them. The Easy Upload feature can be found at the following URL: https://producer.manhattanlife.com/life/account/login.aspx?AsAgent Required Forms Completed Application (pages 1-5)

Whether completing a paper application, or utilizing ManhattanDirect 2.0, please remember only current state-approved applications may be used when applying for coverage.

Effective Dates The policy effective date and the bank draft date must match for a policy to be issued. If the requested effective date is left blank, the bank draft date will become the policy effective date. We will honor requests for effective dates starting from the date the application was signed up to 6 months in the future. Insurance policies may not be effective on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month. Applications written on these days will be made effective on the 1st of the following month. Additionally, the policy effective date cannot be prior to the applicant’s signature date. Once an application is processed and accepted, the policy is scheduled to draft on the requested effective date. Rates Home Health Care Select rates vary by state and by age. Consult the rate schedule for each state for specific details. • Age Used To Determine Rates: When a quote is prepared in the system, the rate is based on the applicant’s age as of the application submission date. If the policy is then issued, this will be the rate paid by the policyholder until the next rate increase. • Effective Date For Rate Increases: When a client moves from one age band to another (e.g., 65 to 69 moving to 70 to 74), the rate increase will take place on the policyholder’s next policy anniversary month after moving into the higher age band. • Rate Increase Notification Process: Rate increase letters are sent to policyholders when they move up to the next higher rate band and are subject to a rate increase on their next policy anniversary month. Depending on state requirements, this correspondence will be sent to the insured 30-60 days prior to the new rate’s effective date. Underwriting The goal of ManhattanLife and group of companies is to issue insurance policies as quickly and efficiently as possible, while ensuring proper evaluation of each risk. To accomplish this goal, writing agents may be contacted via email to advise him/her of any problem(s) with an application. Complete applications will be reviewed and processed within 48-72 hours. It is very important to ensure the entire application is filled out completely, including all health questions. This greatly helps reduce processing timeframes. If you (agent) or insured are unsure about past medical conditions, impairments, or terminology, please provide any additional comments that could provide additional insight to our underwriters. Telephone Interviews There may be instances when a telephone interview is necessary to verify information within the application. In the event we are unable to complete a phone interview, additional medical records may be required. * Any deviations from the application and information gathered during a Phone Interview could result in processing delays. Please be aware that agents and/or an agent’s representative may not be present or on the line while a phone interview is being conducted.

Required Application Information Whenever possible we highly recommend utilizing our ManhattanDirect 2.0 enrollment platform, as paper submissions often have undue delays. If an application is submitted with incomplete, unclear, or missing information critical to the risk evaluation process, a new application may be required, or an amendment to the application will be issued. Critical information includes, but is not limited to: • Complete residential address • Date of birth • Social Security Number • Plan selection • Correct Premium • Bank draft date/Policy effective date • Eligibility questions • Applicant’s signature • Agent’s signature • Agent Number Top Reasons for Application Delays • Post-dated check submitted with application (Please remember, we do not accept postdated checks). • Temporary check submitted with application. Checks should be pre-printed from the insured’s financial institution, or verification on official bank letterhead. • The application is received at the administrative office more than 30 days from the signature date, or if the signature date is in the future. • Pending Agent Appointment. ManhattanLife practices “Just in Time” appointments and processing of applications. What does this mean? This means that we will not run a background check and solidify appointments until your 1st piece of business is submitted. This could result in a 24-48 hr delay for this initial deal, so please keep that in mind. • Deposit slip submitted in the place of a voided check. • Signature stamps are not allowed on applications. Please ensure a physical signature is captured. • Premium check from any third-party payor that has no immediate family OR business relationship to the applicant. • If the amount quoted on the application is less than the modal premium we calculate, we will contact the agent to verify that it is acceptable to process the bank draft for the amount that we have calculated. We will amend the modal premium. • Provide all medication information and history. • Information listed on application does not align with Personal Health Interview (PHI).

Policy Issue Guidelines The policy issued is specific to the state of residence. The applicant’s state of residence controls the application, forms, premium, and policy issued. If an applicant has more than one residence, the state where the federal income taxes are filed should be considered the state of residence. Multiple Policies An individual can only have one ManhattanLife, or Standard Life and Casualty, Home Health Care Select Insurance policy in place at any given time. Replacements A replacement takes place when an applicant wishes to exchange an existing ManhattanLife Home Health Care Select policy for either another MAC, Western United Life, Family Life, ManhattanLife Insurance and Annuity, or Standard Life and Casualty Home Health Care Select policy of lesser or greater value, or a policy with an external company. Internal and external replacements are processed in the same manner, and both require a newly completed application with full underwriting. An applicant that wishes to be reconsidered for the spousal discount will be handled as an internal replacement. For internal replacements, we will use the same underwriting criteria. However, we will also use our claims database to assist in determining the risk of an applicant. Situations Requiring a New Application A new application is required if white-out or liquid paper has been used on the application, or a change was made to the application and not initialed by the applicant.
