Webinar Series
The WA Cares team regularly hosts webinars on the program and topics related to long-term care.
WA Cares Conversations webinars feature a panel discussion of an issue in long-term care or caregiving, along with a short overview of how WA Cares works and how it relates to the issue.
WA Cares Basics webinars focus solely on the program, providing details on contributions,
benefits, exemptions and more.
The Employment Security Department (ESD) also hosts employer-focused webinars.
All webinars will be recorded. Recordings and webinar materials will be available below after the completion of the webinar.
