Once you meet the contribution and care needs requirements, you’ll be able to start using your benefits. You can create your online account starting in April 2026, apply for benefits starting in mid-May and get benefits in July.

You (or someone helping you) will create an online account to apply. After we get your application, we’ll check how many years you’ve contributed to WA Cares. Then we’ll send you a contribution determination letter, which will tell you whether you’ve met the contribution requirement and the benefit amount you’ve earned.

We will cover:
•    How the program works
•    Account creation
•    Requesting your contribution determination
•    Completing your intake call
•    Reviewing your benefit determination

Knowing there is money set aside for care in the future gives employees peace of mind today. WA Cares makes long-term care insurance accessible for all Washington workers. As a Washington employer, you are required to report your employees’ wages and hours and pay premiums every quarter.

We will cover who contributes to the fund, how workers will meet contribution requirements, who can get an exemption, tracking employee exemptions, employer reporting requirements and what kinds of benefits will be available.
