This bill amends RCW 43.88C.010 to include a new caseload for the official forecast concerning the number of individuals eligible for the working families' tax credit under RCW 82.08.0206. The new language specifies that beginning with the first official forecast after the effective date of this section, the caseload forecast council will include the total number of people eligible for the working families' tax credit, categorized by those with no qualifying children, one qualifying child, two qualifying children, and three or more qualifying children.

Additionally, the bill outlines the structure and responsibilities of the caseload forecast council, including the appointment of members, the employment of a caseload forecast supervisor, and the process for approving forecasts. The council is tasked with overseeing various public assistance programs and educational grants, ensuring that the forecasts reflect the needs of the community accurately. The inclusion of the working families' tax credit eligibility in the forecast aims to enhance the council's ability to address the financial needs of families in Washington State.
