The CLASS act stands for Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act, and is Title VIII of the Health Care Reform Bill. It is a legacy of the late Senator Ted Kennedy.
The plan creates a voluntary government run long-term care insurance program and is effective January 1, 2011. However, the Department of Health and Human Services has until October 1, 2012 to design the plan, and it is not anticipated to be ready until 2013.
