Virginia Sickness and Disability Program Long-Term Care Plan (State Employees)

The VSDP Long-Term Care Plan covers nursing home care, hospice care, assisted living care, community-based care and at-home care, among other services. Your caregiver also may be eligible for assistance under the plan. The maximum daily benefit amount is $96 with a lifetime maximum of $70,080. See VSDP Long-Term Care Plan Features.
