The Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD) has adopted a new rule requiring employers to notify the Department within 30 days of any address change. While state law has long required businesses to keep their records current, this update clarifies that address changes must now be reported within a specific timeframe.
The rule takes effect on July 7, 2025, and aims to improve communication between employers and the Department.
This update is part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to streamline processes and ensure accurate employer records. Employers can find more details and track additional rulemaking activities on the ESD rulemaking homepage.
