WAC 192-140-010   Personal identification number.  (1) The first time you call the unemployment information and weekly claims line to obtain information about your claim or to file a weekly claim for benefits, you must set up a personal identification number (PIN). This number is your electronic signature on all claims filed by telephone and its use is equivalent to your signature on written forms.

     (2) Security of the PIN is your responsibility. You are responsible for any payments made as a result of the use of this PIN unless you provide evidence showing that the individual using your PIN was not authorized to do so. Your PIN must be reset if you forget it or if someone else, including an employee of the department, learns your PIN. You are responsible for either contacting the unemployment claims telecenter to set up a new PIN or setting up a new PIN using the department's internet site.
