Thank you. Someone (you, perhaps?) emailed me to tell me that they had seen the notice on aflac’s site on the evening of May 25. I have no idea why I did not see the page with that prominent notice and link when I checked the site before posting – and I did check it a few ways. Maybe some cache issue? Who knows. But Aflac does have the notice up, so thanks for submitting the links.
