Washington Cares Fund Update : Exemption Process

A commission helping the Washington state Legislature implement its long-term-care law met Monday for the first time this year. Please read the article here.
 
I recommend encouraging your clients to stay the course with the disclosure that the updated exemptions were added…

Exemptions will be made available to groups who did not previously qualify, including workers who live outside of Washington, military spouses, workers holding non-immigrants visa, and certain veterans with disabilities. Exemption applications for newly eligible groups will become available January 1, 2023.

Note: Workers who wish to apply for an exemption because they hold a long-term care insurance plan purchased by Nov. 1, 2021 must still apply by Dec. 31, 2022.
