Interesting, that would be by far the cheapest I've heard for stand-alone LTC insurance. I wonder if that's just the cost of the rider. The lowest cost I've heard is $79 a month. And like I said, it depends on how much you make, $25 a month is just the average cost for Washington residents.

That Opt out option has Sunset. If you have a policy prior to Nov 1, 2021 then hold onto it.

There was a ton of policies sold during that time frame and several states are moving forward with their programs.

When I talked to the legislatures in January there was no plans to make a change even though the taxes start being collected July 1st. The other option that you have is going self employed as we have to opt in if we want it.

Oh yes. I should have said that more clearly. At this time it is not required, but it is still on the burner. I personally think that the “plan” will not come together any better in 2023, than it did the last time around. So, personally I am still waiting to see if opting out in the first place was the correct decision. We will see what happens.
