Worker contributions to the WA Cares Fund, the state’s new long-term care insurance program, start this summer. Beginning July 1, 2023, you must collect WA Cares premiums from your employees’ wages and report their wages and hours at the end of each quarter—the same way you do now for Paid Leave. Reporting will begin October 2023 and will follow the same payment process as Paid Leave. As an employer, you won’t pay any share of WA Cares premiums for your employees.
