NU Online News Service, Aug. 31, 1:35 p.m. – The U.S. Office of Personnel Management says it has received "quality proposals" from long-term care insurers for new Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program.
The program "WILL indeed be up and running by October 1, 2002," officials promise federal employees on the federal personnel Web site, at http://www.opm.gov/insure/ltc/
But program rules prohibit the federal personnel office from naming the companies that submitted proposals or describing the proposals, officials report.
