"Application base" means either the first fifteen
				  applications for vendor in good standing received, or all applications for
				  vendor in good standing received during the first twelve months of the program,
				  whichever is greater at the time an application is being considered.
"Integrated setting" means a setting commonly found in the
				  community (such as a store, office or school) where the individual with a
				  disability comes into contact with nondisabled people who are not providing
				  vocational rehabilitation services or other specialized services to that
				  individual; or a setting commonly found in the community where the individual
				  with a disability comes into contact with nondisabled people as he/she does
				  his/her work. The amount of contact the individual with a disability has with
				  nondisabled people is the same that a nondisabled person in the same type of
				  job would experience.
"Transitioned to a less restrictive employment setting" means
				  any change to an individual's job or work setting, or working conditions that
				  increases that individual's workplace integration, independence from special
				  services or participation in unsubsidized work. Some examples include moving

				  employment; or from working for a community rehabilitation program to working
				  for a community employer.

				five working days before the scheduled brief adjudicative proceeding, any

				a matter by a brief adjudicative proceeding and may request that a matter be

				presiding officer may convert any brief adjudicative proceeding to a formal
				adjudicative hearing whenever it appears that a brief adjudicative proceeding
				is insufficient to determine the issues pending before the agency.
(2) In determining whether to convert a
				proceeding, the presiding officer may consider the following factors:
(a) Whether witness testimony will aid the
				presiding officer in resolving contested issues of fact;
(b) Whether the legal or factual issues are
				sufficiently complex to warrant a formal adjudicative proceeding, including
				whether there are multiple issues of fact or law;
(c) Whether a brief adjudicative proceeding
				will establish an adequate record for further agency or judicial
				review;
(d) Whether the legal
				issues involved in the proceeding present questions of legal significance or
				are being raised for the first time before the agency;
(e) Whether conversion of the proceeding will
				cause unnecessary delay in resolving the issues; and
(f) Any other factors that the presiding
				officer deems relevant in reaching a determination.

Wages.
Includes all payments
				for personal services performed by an employee for an employer including the
				cash value of all remuneration paid in any medium other than cash including
				salaries, commissions, vacation pay, dismissal wages, bonuses and reasonable
				value of board, rent, housing, lodging, payments in kind, tips, and any other
				similar advantage received from the individual's employer or directly with
				respect to work for the employer.
(2)
Wages paid.
Includes wages
				that are actually received by an individual and wages that are contractually
				due but are not paid because the employer refuses or is unable to make such
				payment. (See
				RCW
				   50.24.015).
(3)
Wages constructively paid.
Those wages set aside, by mutual agreement of both parties (employer and
				employee) to be paid at a later date. They are reported for tax purposes when
				actually paid to the employee. The wages set aside can have no substantial
				limitation or restriction as to the time or manner or condition upon which
				payment is to be made. In addition the ability to draw on the wages must be
				within the control and disposition of the employee.
(4)
Deductions.
The amount(s)
				any federal or state law requires an employer to deduct from the wages of an
				individual in its employ; and to pay the amount deducted to the federal or
				state government, or any of their political subdivisions. The amount deducted
				will be considered wages and to have been paid to the individual at the time of
				the deduction. Other amounts deducted from the wages of an individual by an
				employer also constitute wages paid to the individual at the time of the
				deduction.
(5)
Nominal
				stipends.
A stipend is considered nominal when it does not exceed six
				hundred dollars per year.
(6)
Contributions.
Title 50 RCW generally uses the term
				"contributions" to refer to unemployment taxes. Title 192 WAC generally uses
				the term "unemployment taxes" to refer to contributions. The two terms are
				treated interchangeably unless the context provides otherwise.
