SUMMARY:WA Cares Fund Basics
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, we discuss how the WA Cares Fund 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. \n\nMost Washingtonians will eventually need 
 long-term care. These services and supports can be expensive\, and most 
 long-term care is not covered by Medicare or health insurance. Medicaid 
 typically only covers long-term care after a person spends their life 
 savings down to $2\,000. The WA Cares Fund provides working Washingtonians 
 with a way to earn access to long-term care benefits that will be available 
 when they need them.  The WA Cares Fund 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. \n\nPresented by Janine Pederson of ALTCEW
