Can common law spouses of eligible individuals apply?
Yes, a common law spouse is eligible to apply, if the common law marriage is recognized by the state in which the couple lives or previously lived. So this means that if you 1) currently live or lived at some point in a state that recognizes common law marriages, and 2) met that state’s requirements for a common law marriage at that time, you are eligible to apply for insurance coverage under the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program. If you have any questions about the validity of your marriage, please consult someone who specializes in marital law.
