This is a common misunderstanding. The WA Cares law has not been repealed. It is on the books and is not likely to go anywhere. What was delayed was the collecting of the LTC tax from peoples paychecks. That tax collection was delayed, but it is scheduled to begin in 2023.

Oh yes. I should have said that more clearly. At this time it is not required, but it is still on the burner. I personally think that the “plan” will not come together any better in 2023, than it did the last time around. So, personally I am still waiting to see if opting out in the first place was the correct decision. We will see what happens.
