WAC 192-110-050   How do I reopen my claim?  (1) If you do not file a claim for one or more weeks, you must reopen your claim.

     (a) If it has been fewer than four weeks since you last claimed, you must reopen your claim by calling the unemployment claims telecenter and asking an agent to reopen your claim.

     (b) If you have not claimed benefits for four or more weeks, you may reopen your claim on the internet or by calling the unemployment claims telecenter. However, you must do so before the last working day of the week (which is usually Friday). Otherwise you must call the unemployment claims telecenter and speak to an agent to reopen your claim.

     (2) Your claim will be reopened effective on Sunday of the week in which you contact the department except that the effective date for any prior week claimed under WAC 192-140-005(4) will be Sunday of that week.
