Report someone who refuses a job offer

We will contact employers when claimants report that they declined a job offer. Or employers can tell us via eServices. This page shows you how.

How to submit your report

  1. Read the "Employers" and "Employers and workers" sections on the refusing job offers page.

  2. Gather information you will need about the claimant and the job offer:

    • Name and Social Security number of the claimant.
    • Date of the job offer.
    • Who made the job offer and their title.
    • Details of the job offer (position, location, wages, hours, etc.).
    • How the job was offered (phone, email, text, etc.).
    • Contact information for the employer (your business).
    • The claimant's reason for refusing the job offer.
  3. Choose how you would like to submit the information. You can: 
    • Log into eServices and navigate to your employer account.
    • Call 877-504-5607.
    • Mail to:
      Employment Security Department
      UI Imaging Unit
      P.O. Box 19019
      Olympia, WA 98507-0019
    • Fax 800-301-1796

If you choose to submit information in eServices

  1. Choose the "Issues" tab in the lower part of the page. The "Report Refusal of Work" link is under "Self-report an issue."

  2. Enter the requested information.

  3. Attach any documents that support your report.

  4. Choose "Submit." You will get a confirmation number. You will not need the number during the rest of the reporting process. But you might want to keep it for future reference.

Next steps

We will send a questionnaire to the claimant by mail or eServices. If needed, the adjudicator will contact you or the claimant for more information. Then we will decide whether the claimant is eligible for benefits.

We will send you and the claimant our decision by mail or through eServices.
