Concerning notice to striking workers applying for unemployment insurance benefits of potential overpayment assessment upon receipt of retroactive wages.

Summary

The bill amends Washington’s unemployment law so anyone filing for benefits because of a strike must be told they could owe money back if they later receive back‑pay from their former employer. When retroactive wages cover weeks the worker received unemployment, the department will issue an overpayment assessment to recover those benefits. The requirement applies to strike‑related claims and expires on December 31, 2035.
