Long term care tax wa state

[BMGMAN]

Who else is super excited to give more of your money to the state!? .58 per 100 earned. With a max payout of 36,500 for a lifetime. Anyone who has dealt with long term care knows how quickly that amount is gone. Have to pay in for years to qualify. Leave the state, they ain't giving you a penny back. Our founding fathers were irate about higher taxes on tea. Now an unfortunate amount of "Americans" be all, "tax me harder daddy." Rant over

Betcha can't wait for the "paid leave for those without jobs" tax! Only a matter of time.

 

[BMGMAN]

Nope, I'm exempt.

I thought WA had sales tax instead of income tax.

Yeah, MT is nice. I'm employed in WA and still live there most the time though.

They do, but this has nothing to do with either of those.

Exemptions | WA Cares Fund

There are several exemption pathways for Washington workers who aren’t likely to use their WA Cares benefits in the future.

If it's mandatory and based on your income it's a tax in my mind. Kind of like social security.

That's why it's titled "Long Term Care Insurance Tax".

It's obviously a crock. The money will be redirected into some kind of "guaranteed monthly income for misunderstood artists in Seattle" or similar ca ca.

They've never met a tax they didn't love

Once again the voters getting just what they deserve.
As long as we keep voting in people like we have they will keep coming up with new taxes to spend.

We do, that did not stop them from just making up a new tax. This is what people here keep voting for, so they get what they ask for. Sadly the rest of us live with it or move.

Welcome to the real world. All laws mean what some black robe tells you they mean.

Oh they do. 8.7% in Vancouver. Long term health tax is a "benefit" for its slaves, I mean it's occupants.

I thought this was cancelled?

It was put on hold due to union requests

That part is still being fought about but they put in a couple other along the same line. Called Family Medical Leave that is the same ponzi scheme kind of thing. Couple people I know who tried to collect found there was no money there. Sure take it out of our checks though. This latest one will be the same thing. They will take the money then claim there is none there to pay out. Again voters get what they deserve,

"We've approved your request to be exempted from the WA Cares Fund (WA Cares).

You're exempt from paying the WA Cares premium and you'll never be eligible to receive WA Cares benefits. Your permanent exemption takes effect on 1/1/2022."

I applied early.

My wife cancelled her self-insurance that we got when this first came up. I kept mine, I wonder if they are trying to re-word it to prevent people from escaping it?
Anyways, I've been throwing money away for a while now, just so I don't get wrapped up in it.

Once my son leaves for college, we're outta here.
