By automatically contributing a small part of each paycheck over your working years, you earn benefits you can use when you need long-term care. You choose when and how to use your benefit and have the flexibility to choose a provider based on what you’re willing to pay. You will be able to use your benefit without having to pay out of pocket up front and you never need to submit a claim. 

All you need to do is find a registered provider and approve the pre-authorizations for the services you are receiving. WA Cares will pay providers directly on your behalf.

We will cover: 
•    How the program works
•    Choosing your provider
•    Discussing rates and services with your provider
•    Pre-authorizations

Applications are now open. Before benefits begin in July 2026, we will work to register a diverse range of qualified providers for each covered service. To ensure quality care, providers must meet minimum qualifications to participate. Once registered, beneficiaries can choose from these providers — empowering them to select the services that best meet their needs within their own communities. 

We will cover: 
•    How the program works 
•    Types of providers that will be able to register
•    Minimum qualifications and requirements providers will have to meet
•    How to register as a provider 

Mga Panelista: Sebastian Cahe, Outreach and Language Access Lead, DSHS, Loegan Sargent, Outreach and Language Access Lead, DSHS, Ali Lafontaine, AAA Manager, DSHS, Katie Kelnhofer, Provider Policy Unit Manager, DSHS, Pete Keller, Provider Network Operations Administrator, DSHS.
