The Employment Security Department (ESD) has proposed a new rule requiring employers to notify the Department of any address changes within 30 days. While employers are already required to maintain up-to-date records under RCW 50.12.070, the current rules do not explicitly state this requirement. This rulemaking aims to clarify the obligation and ensure compliance.
Employers and stakeholders are encouraged to review the proposed rule language and provide feedback. Written comments can be submitted to [email protected] or mailed to Stephanie Frazee, Legislation and Rules Coordinator, at ESD’s Olympia office.
A public hearing via Zoom will be held on March 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM PST for verbal comments. Employers can join using Meeting ID: 846 3081 0093 and Passcode: 537428.
All comments must be submitted by March 27, 2025. Please reference “Employer address change” in all correspondence.
