Knowing there is money set aside for care in the future gives your workers peace of mind today. The WA Cares Fund puts long-term care insurance coverage within reach for all Washington workers for the first time.

The WA Cares Fund works like an insurance policy. We all contribute a small percentage of each paycheck to ensure that if we need long-term care later on, we can access services and supports.  We sometimes hear people ask what happens to their WA Cares contributions if they never need long-term care. Even if you are among the minority of people who never have a care need, there are many ways WA Cares could still benefit you and your community.
