Company-Sponsored Long-Term Care Plan

The passage of Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Trust Act, effective January 1, 2022, makes Washington the first state in the nation to require that its working residents secure a long-term care plan. Washington residents can either participate in a publicly funded insurance program where they can vest into a basic level of long-term care (“LTC”) benefits, or they can opt-out and buy a private policy that best suits them.
