(1) A conditional payment is:
(a) Payment issued to you after you have already received benefits but during a period in which the department questions your continued eligibility for benefits; or
(b) Payment issued when you have provided reasonable evidence of authorization to work in the United States but the department is paying benefits pending verification by the federal government.
(2) Your right to retain such payment is conditioned on the department's finding that you were eligible for benefits during the week(s) in question.
(3) You are no longer considered to be in continued claim status if you have not claimed benefits (had a break in claim) for four weeks or longer.
(4) A conditional payment is not considered a "determination of allowance" as provided in RCW
50.20.160(3).
