ПРЕДСТОЯЩИЙ ВЕБИНАР
Most Washingtonians will eventually need long-term care. These services and supports can be expensive, but most long-term care is not covered by Medicare or health insurance and Medicaid typically only covers it after you’ve spent your life savings down to $2,000.
WA Cares Fund provides working Washingtonians a way to earn access to long-term care benefits that will be available when they need them. It could cover most of the need for some people, while for others it will provide breathing room during one of life’s most challenging stages, giving the family time to develop a plan.
We will cover how the program works, what long-term care includes, how caregiving responsibilities impact families, who contributes to the fund, how exemptions work and how to qualify for benefits.
More than 800,000 Washingtonians provide care to a loved one. Many of us provide care out of both necessity and love, and do so without thinking twice. Whether you’re picking up groceries for your neighbor or helping your dad manage his medications—you are a caregiver.
If the person you're caring for has earned WA Cares Fund benefits, you can become their paid caregiver, even if you're caring for your own spouse.
We will cover how the program works, who is eligible for paid family caregiving, how WA Cares can help with care needs, steps to becoming a paid family caregiver and additional resources, supports and services available.
