WAC 192-140-100   What happens if I do not respond to a request for information about a discharge from work?  (1) If you do not respond to a request for information about a discharge from work and have not given the department enough information to identify or contact the employer, the department will presume the employer discharged you for misconduct connected with the work. Benefits will be denied under RCW 50.20.066. If you have given the department enough information to contact the employer, benefits will not be denied unless the employer shows by a preponderance of evidence that you were discharged for misconduct connected with your work.

     (2) This denial is for an indefinite period of time and will continue until you meet the requalification provisions of RCW 50.20.066.
