Washington Cares Fund Discussion

Although a number of states have explored the idea of a publicly-funded Long-Term Care (LTC) benefit, the state of Washington was the first to take definitive action. Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA) signed the LTC Trust Act effective July 28, 2019. Following amendments from the state legislature, Governor Inslee signed the final iteration of the program into law on April 21, 2021. Join NAHU's LTC Insurance Working Group, along with Seattle AHU Legislative Chair, Danielle Huston and government relations attorney Melvin N. Sorensen to discuss the Washington State LTC Program.
