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 The WA Cares law has not been repealed.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.

Was on webinar with an insurance employee who keeps track of this topic in the WA legislature and they said that lawmakers are currently aware of the loophole that people could have signed up for a private LTC policy, gotten the exemption, and then cancelled the policy. Lawmakers are aware of this and it seems very likely that they will plug the loophole in the future by requiring some sort of ongoing proof that you have an active policy.
