Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024

What
				is a job search review (JSR)?
The JSR is a review of your job search
				activities by the department. At a minimum, the department will review your job
				search documentation, your ability to work, availability for work, and your
				efforts to find work. The department may also promote an active search for work
				by directing you to resources that will assist you with your job search
				efforts.
(2)
Will my job
				search activities be reviewed?
Yes, you must provide your job search log
				to the department when requested. The department will review your log, review
				your eligibility for benefits as required by
				RCW
				   50.20.010(1)(c), and, when
				appropriate, provide feedback on areas in which your job search can be
				improved.
(3)
How many weeks
				will be reviewed?
The department will review at least one week of your
				job search documentation at the initial JSR.
(a) If the documentation shows you met the
				job search requirements for that week, no further action will be taken at that
				time except as provided in WAC
				192-180-020(2).
				You may be scheduled for another JSR at a later date.
(b) If the documentation shows that you
				substantially complied with the job search requirements, you will not be
				scheduled for an all weeks JSR. However, your benefits may be denied for that
				week and the department will issue you a work search directive explaining how
				your job search efforts or documentation of those efforts must be
				modified.
(c) If the job search
				documentation fails to show that you substantially complied with the job search
				requirements, the department will reschedule you for a second JSR in which your
				job search for all weeks claimed will be reviewed.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The
				department will use the profiling model described in this section to identify
				claimants who are likely to exhaust benefits and in need of job search
				assistance to obtain new employment.
(2)
Model.
Take all valid claims
				with a benefit year ending date that falls within a specified two-year time
				period. Screen out (a) members of unions participating in the referral union
				program (see WAC
				192-210-100) and (b) claimants who do not have a job search requirement (employer
				attached, in approved training, are an active registered electrical apprentice
				in an approved electrical apprenticeship program under chapter 49.04 RCW and
				chapter 296-05 WAC, or unemployed due to strike or lockout) after all wages for
				the claimant on the current claim have been received. For the remaining
				claimants with a job search requirement, statistically combine information on
				industry, occupation and other personal characteristics, and labor market
				characteristics to generate a numerical score indicating the likelihood of
				exhausting benefits before finding work. The scores may range from 0% (no
				likelihood of exhaustion) to one hundred percent (certainty of exhaustion).
				Rank claimants based on their individual score from least likely to most likely
				to exhaust.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 192 - Employment Security Department › UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE › Chapter 192-190 - Deductions from unemployment benefits › Section 192-190-025 - How is the pension deduction calculated?

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) The share contributed by the employer to
				the pension is deductible from benefits. The amount of the deduction equals the
				percentage of the contribution(s) made by the base year employer as of the last
				pay period in the base year in which the contribution(s) was made. The
				department will prorate the employer's share to a weekly amount.
(a) The department will presume the services
				you provided to the employer in the base year affected eligibility for or
				increased the pension amount unless you provide verification from the employer
				or the pension fund administrator showing otherwise.
(b) The department will presume you made no
				contribution to the pension unless you provide evidence satisfactory to the
				department that such a contribution was made.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Moneys paid to
				you as reimbursement for expenses are not deductible from benefits. However,
				there must be a reasonable relationship between the amount paid and the actual
				expenses incurred. If the amount paid is greater than actual expenses, the
				entire amount must be reported to the department as remuneration and may be
				deducted from your weekly benefit amount.
(2) Examples:
(a) A volunteer firefighter is paid
				twenty-five dollars for each fire call. The amount is considered reimbursement
				for the costs associated with responding to the fire call, such as travel
				expenses. You are not required to report the reimbursement to the department
				when filing your claim.
(b) A
				volunteer firefighter is paid fifty dollars per week even if he or she has no
				fire calls during that week. The amount is considered remuneration because
				there is no relationship between the payment and the costs associated with
				service as a firefighter. You must report the payments to the department when
				filing your claim.

				award back pay to a separated or suspended employee for a specific period of
				time.

				amount owed before giving you the award, you will receive an overpayment notice
				and must pay the amount owed to the department.
(b) If the employer deducts the amount of
				benefits owed before giving you the back pay award, the employer must pay the

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Termination pay
				is the same as earnings and is deductible from benefits. It means payments that
				are assigned to and have a connection with the period following the last day
				you worked but before you are separated from employment. The payments may be
				connected to a specific period of time by collective bargaining agreement,
				individual contract or hiring agreement, customary trade practice, or your
				request.
(2) Your employer may
				place conditions for receiving payments, such as requiring that you be
				available for work during the payment period as needed or stopping payment
				before the payment period ends if you get another job.
Example 1: The employer provides a job security plan which
				  pays full salary and benefits for five months after the layoff date. The
				  employees are on-call to work as needed for the employer. These payments are
				  deductible because the payments are conditioned on your agreement to remain
				  on-call.
Example 2: An employment contract provides for payments for
				  up to two years following layoff, based on years of service. Fringe benefits
				  continue during the period and accrued vacation time may be used to extend the
				  length of the payments. Payments are deductible because there is a clear
				  connection between the payments and the time period following the last day of
				  work based on the continuation of fringe benefits such as vacation
				  leave.

Example: You work twenty hours a week and receive partial
				  unemployment benefits. Based on productivity for that week, your employer
				  awards a fifty dollar cash bonus to workers. The fifty dollars is deductible
				  from benefits.
(2) If a
				bonus is not attributable to work you performed during a week claimed, it is
				not deductible from benefits.
Example: You work eight months for an employer and are then
				  laid off. At the end of the year, your employer pays each worker a bonus of one
				  hundred dollars for each month worked during the calendar year. You receive
				  eight hundred dollars based on your eight months of work. Because the bonus is
				  attributable to work performed before you separated from your job, it is not
