Title 192 - Employment Security Department
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
Chapter 192-190 - Deductions from unemployment benefits
Section 192-190-030 - Is reimbursement of expenses deductible from my benefits?
Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 192-190-030
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1) Moneys paid to you as reimbursement for expenses are not deductible from benefits. However, there must be a reasonable relationship between the amount paid and the actual expenses incurred. If the amount paid is greater than actual expenses, the entire amount must be reported to the department as remuneration and may be deducted from your weekly benefit amount.
(2) Examples:
(a) A volunteer firefighter is paid
twenty-five dollars for each fire call. The amount is considered reimbursement
for the costs associated with responding to the fire call, such as travel
expenses. You are not required to report the reimbursement to the department
when filing your claim.
(b) A
volunteer firefighter is paid fifty dollars per week even if he or she has no
fire calls during that week. The amount is considered remuneration because
there is no relationship between the payment and the costs associated with
service as a firefighter. You must report the payments to the department when
filing your claim.
