Description
This rule making will amend WAC 192-140-035 ('What happens if I do not respond to a request for information?'). The rule making will correct inconsistent terminology within WAC 192-140-035. WAC 192-140-035 currently states that the Department will presume an individual is disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits if they provide potentially disqualifying information, or fail to provide necessary information, and then they do not respond to a request for specific information. The rule then states that the Department will deny benefits under RCW 50.20.010. However, RCW 50.20.010 is not a disqualification statute; rather, it sets out a claimant's eligibility for unemployment benefits. The rule will be amended to address both disqualification and ineligibility for benefits.
