Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: The purpose of this rule making is to amend WAC 192-220-070 to remove a cross-reference to RCW 50.12.070 (2)(c). In 2013, the legislature amended RCW 50.12.070, and subsection (2)(c) was removed from the statute. The substance of RCW 50.12.070 (2)(c) was moved to subsection (2)(b). Thus, the cross-reference in WAC 192-220-070 will be updated to reference RCW 50.12.070 (2)(b).

WAC 192-220-070Overpayments under RCW 50.12.070 (2)(((c)))(b).
You are not required to repay benefits improperly paid to you because an employer failed to correctly report your wages or hours and a later correction results in a lower benefit amount or your claim becomes invalid. However, you remain liable for any overpayment assessment resulting from an eligibility decision issued before your claim became invalid that has become final.
