The report recommends insurance policies with high surrender values and details on how to select a policy that offers customer service and online payment options. The report also includes references to relevant academic and industry sources, supporting the analysis with credible information.

Recommendation
Long-term care insurance must be affordable by students because insurance commissioners
often says that a person does not spend more than 5 percent of the income. The human
resource director of UPSA (UMGC Premier Student Association) institute decides to launch a
brochure to address long-term care policies for its members (Thralls, & Levy, 2018). The
institute must try to create transparency in the premium disclosures in insurance policies and
further it must come up with financial analysts to test the worthiness of long term insurance.
Lifetime retiring savings are wiped out through the unexpected need for the nursing home
and in-house assisting home care services so it is important to invest in a life insurance policy
to enjoy security. This insurance covers long-term care services and further protect lifetime
savings (Patnaik, 2015).
The refunding amount must be reasonable. The institute must promote that type of insurance
policies, which has high surrender value. Its paying amount to the policyholders will be due
on the completion on the surrendering of the healthcare insurance, life insurance policy,
endowment policy, pension plans, and cancer insurance (Colello, & Panangala, 2017). A
member may receive few benefits while selecting the policy to invest in such as customer
service channels in different customer zones, and online premium payment services that
includes details such as credit card, debit card, net banking, and date of birth, mobile number,
and instalment premium amount. It is an idea to compare and contrast between the amounts
of different policies so that people could know the best (Maarse, & Jeurissen, 2016).
