UPDATE 12/17/2021: WA Long Term Care (LCT) Delay
Washington Cares Fund is Delayed until April of 2022.
The Legislature and Governor Inslee have announced plans to change and improve the WA Cares Fund during the 2022 legislative session, which is scheduled to conclude in March 2022. Per direction from the Governor, ESD will not collect premiums from employers until April 2022 or until further direction is received.
There Não será nenhum fundo de Washington que seja retido até que a direção adicional seja recebida. A funcionalidade para marcar os funcionários isentos estará disponível no futuro antes do início das deduções. Mais recentemente, orientações fornecidas sobre o atraso do LTC, aborda esse fato e, nessa orientação, o governador Inslee afirmou que "enquanto a legislação está em consideração para pausar a retenção de taxas de LTC, os empregadores não estarão sujeitos a penas e juros por não reter as taxas dos funcionários e os funcionários e os funcionários e a retenção dos funcionários e a retenção dos funcionários e da retenção dos funcionários e da transição". Atraso na avaliação premium, também apoiamos os empregadores para a coleta premium de funcionários em Washington, para que os legisladores possam tomar as medidas necessárias. casas. ”
The LTC delay authorized by Governor Inslee does not apply to employees’ withholding, because the Governor lacks the authority to change the law, and only applies to the collection of fees from employers. More recently provided guidance on the delay of LTC addresses this fact and in that guidance, Governor Inslee has stated that “while legislation is under consideration to pause the withholding of LTC fees, employers will not be subject to penalties and interest for not withholding fees from employees’ wages during this transition.”
Additionally, Senator Andy Billig and Speaker Laurie Jinkins stated that “in addition to delaying the premium assessment, we also support employers pausing premium collections from employees in Washington so lawmakers can take necessary action. While we cannot direct employers not to collect, we strongly encourage them to pause on collecting premiums from employees, giving us time to pass legislation extending implementation dates until next year. We know that this extra time will allow us to find solutions and craft updates to the Fund that allows Washingtonians to age with dignity in their own homes.”
