Long-Term Services & Supports (LTSS) Trust Commission
The Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Act (Trust Act) was enacted in 2019 and created the WA Cares Fund, a long-term care insurance benefit to help Washington employees cover the cost of long-term services and supports both during their careers and after they retire.
The Trust Act also created the Long-Term Services and Supports Trust Commission (the Commission), which works on behalf of Washingtonian employees and Long-Term Services & Supports stakeholders to improve, monitor and implement the program. The commission consists of legislators, administering agencies, and stakeholder representatives. The Commission is working on several topics of interest, including:
- criteria for determining who is a qualified individual;
- minimum provider qualifications;
- service payment maximums;
- actions needed to maintain Trust solvency;
- and monitoring of agency expenses.
