Wash. Admin. Code § 192-510-080 - What are the requirements to be eligible for a conditional premium waiver?
(1) An employer and
employee may be eligible for a conditional waiver of premium payments by
satisfying the requirements of
RCW
50A.10.040.
Example: A storm hits Washington. An employer in Oregon hires a new employee who lives in Oregon to help with repair work. The employee only works in Washington for the employer for one week and is then laid off. The employer and the employee could submit a conditional premium waiver request for this employee.
(2) A conditional premium waiver is not
required for work that is not subject to premiums under WAC 192-510-070 or
fails to meet the definition of employment in
RCW
50A.05.010.
(3) Any conditional premium waiver request
must be submitted to the department online or in another format approved by the
department.
(4) As a condition to
granting the conditional premium waiver, the employer must file quarterly
reports to verify that the employee for whom a conditional premium waiver has
been granted is still eligible for the waiver.
(5) Once an employee works eight hundred
twenty hours in a period of four consecutive complete calendar quarters
localized in Washington for an employer, the conditional premium waiver
expires.
(6) The department may
require the employer to submit additional documentation as necessary.
(7) If the employee exceeds eight hundred
twenty hours in a period of four consecutive complete calendar quarters, the
conditional waiver expires and the employer and employee will be responsible
for their shares of all premiums that would have been paid during the period of
four consecutive complete calendar quarters in which the employee exceeded
eight hundred twenty hours had the waiver not been granted. The employer and
employee will each receive a notice of premium assessment. Payment of the
missed premiums is due on the date provided in the notice. Upon payment of the
missed premiums, the employee will be credited for the hours worked and will be
eligible for benefits under this chapter as if the premiums were originally
paid.
(8) A request for a
conditional premium waiver may be denied if the department finds that the
employee does not satisfy the requirements of
RCW
50A.10.040.
(9) A conditional premium waiver may be
canceled if the department finds that the employee no longer satisfies the
requirements of
RCW
50A.10.040.
