The state of Washington’s Long-Term Care (LTC) program and the associated payroll tax that will be used to fund the LTC Benefit Trust are set to start in July 2023. These programs were initially implemented in January 2022 then paused to allow time for legislative adjustments, primarily to address program exemptions. An overview of the program and the aforementioned updates can be found at WSU Insider.
