benefits of long-term care; and

shall also include:
(A) disclosure of the effects of exercising other
rights under the policy;

care costs of insurance charges; and
(C) current and projected maximum lifetime

(1) any long-term care benefits paid during the month;
(2) an explanation of any changes in the policy,
including changes in death benefits or cash values, due to long-term care benefits being paid out; and
