A benefit year begins on Sunday of the calendar week
				in which you file your application for benefits. However, an application may
				also be backdated for good cause or for the convenience of the
				department.
(2)
Definitions.
As used in this section:
(a) "Good cause" means factors that would
				prevent a reasonably prudent person in similar circumstances from filing an
				application for benefits. These include, but are not limited to, incapacity due
				to illness or injury, or other serious factors. "Illness" includes a request
				from a medical professional, local health official, or the Secretary of Health
				to be isolated or quarantined as a consequence of an infection from a disease
				that is the subject of a public health emergency, even if you have not been
				actually diagnosed with the disease that is the subject of a public health
				emergency.
(b) "For the convenience
				of the department" means:
(i) For the purpose
				of program administration; or
(ii)
				Those situations where it is difficult or impossible for the department to
				accept a timely application. These include, but are not limited to, equipment
				breakdowns, lack of available staff to accept applications, or special handling
				requirements.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 192 - Employment Security Department › UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE › Chapter 192-110 - Applying for unemployment benefits › Section 192-110-112 - Applying for a combined wage claim

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
What is a combined wage
				claim?
A combined wage claim is a claim based on wages earned in two or
				more states. For purposes of this section, "state" means the fifty states, the
				District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
(2)
Where can I file a combined wage
				claim?
You can file a combined wage claim against any state in which you
				have base period wages and qualify for benefits based on combining those wages
				with wages from another state(s). The state against which you file your claim
				will be the paying state.
(3)
What is the paying state?
The "paying state" is the state against
				which you file your combined wage claim. You must have base period employment
				in that state and qualify for unemployment benefits under that state's laws
				using combined employment and wages.
(4)
Can I file a combined wage claim
				against Washington?
Yes. To file a combined wage claim against
				Washington, you must have base period wages in Washington which, combined with
				your wages from another state(s), establish a valid Washington claim. If you
				file your claim against Washington, Washington will be the paying
				state.
(5)
Do I have to
				reside or physically be in Washington to file a combined wage claim?
No.
				The state where you are a resident is not relevant in deciding the paying
				state.
(6)
Who decides which
				state is the paying state for a combined wage claim?
You are responsible
				for deciding which state will be the paying state. If you are potentially
				eligible for a combined wage claim and you contact the department using online
				services or by phone, you will be provided with:
(a) General information about the combined
				wage program;
(b) Your options for
				filing a regular or combined wage claim against Washington or another state(s);
				and
(c) Contact information for
				other state(s) in which you worked during your base period.

				will be allowed to cancel your claim within thirty days of the date you applied

				will advise you of the advantages and disadvantages of canceling a
				claim.
(2) At his or her
				discretion, the commissioner may permit cancellation of a claim beyond thirty
				days of the date you applied for benefits, but only in extreme and unusual
				circumstances. The denial of a request to cancel a claim beyond thirty days of
				the date of application is not subject to appeal.
(3) You will not be allowed to cancel your
				claim if benefits have been paid on the claim, unless the department filed the
				claim in error.
(4) As provided in
				RCW
				   50.20.160, if the department has denied your
				benefits before canceling your claim, the denial will remain in effect. The
				department will not make a new decision based on the same issue in a subsequent
				claim.
