The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company was founded in 1905 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when the company was granted permission from Abraham Lincoln’s son, Robert Todd Lincoln, to use his father’s name and likeness.
The company continued to grow over the next several decades, surpassing $100 billion of life insurance in force in 1983. In 1987, the company introduced MoneyGuard, an innovative product that combines a universal life insurance policy with a long-term care benefit rider. This was the first popular hybrid life insurance/long-term care policy, which pays out if you need care in a nursing home, assisted living or your own home or pays your heirs a death benefit if you don’t use up the benefit for long-term care.
In 2006, the company merged with Jefferson Pilot, another large financial service company. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company is an affiliate of the Lincoln Financial Group, which focuses primarily on life insurance, annuities, group benefits and retirement plans, and is headquartered outside of Philadelphia.
