Financial strength
Because a long-term care policy may be held for decades, an insurer's financial strength matters. Lincoln Financial's A.M. Best financial-strength rating is A, affirmed March 13, 2026 (source). A.M. Best downgraded Lincoln National Life from A+ to A in November 2022 (variable-annuity-block balance-sheet pressure). The outlook was revised from negative to stable in February 2025 and the A rating was reaffirmed, stable, in March 2026 — a stabilizing trend, not further deterioration, but worth disclosing. Ratings are typically reaffirmed annually — verify Lincoln Financial's current rating directly with A.M. Best or the carrier before you buy. See how we score carriers for the full methodology.
