WA Cares (Long-Term Care) Exemption Update

We have been closely monitoring the state's website, and unfortunately it has been unavailable all day. The site is currently experiencing technical difficulties and there is no ability to apply for the exemption (with or without a policy number).

However you will need an active Secure Access Washington (SAW) account to log-in to Paid Family and Medical Leave and establish a WA Cares Exemption account. We encourage employees to complete this step, if you do not already have an account, for when the exemption portion of the site is working. Instructions can be found here.
