This bill requires the Washington State Employment Security Department to inform individuals applying for unemployment insurance benefits because they are out of work due to a strike that they might have to repay benefits if they later receive retroactive wages from their employer for the period they were on strike. This notice, which aims to prevent unexpected overpayments and subsequent collection efforts, can be delivered through various methods, including an online acknowledgment, a letter, or other reasonable means, and this provision is set to expire on December 31, 2035.
