Section 192-180-015. Tracking job search activities—RCW 50.20.240.

(1) Do I need to keep track of my job search activities? You must keep a record or log of your job search contacts and the in-person job search activities you receive through the WorkSource office or local employment center unless you are:

(a) A member of a full referral union;

(b) Allowed benefits because you left work to protect yourself or a member of your immediate family from domestic violence or stalking as provided in RCW 50.20.050 (2)(b)(iv); or

(c) Exempt from job search requirements under WAC 192-180-010(1).

(2) What information do I need to keep in the log? Your job search log must contain at least the following information:

(a) For in-person or telephone job search contacts, record the date contact was made; the employer's name, address and telephone number; how contact was made (in-person, telephone, etc.); the name or position of the person you contacted; and the type of work you applied for. If application was made online, by newspaper or other means in which there is no direct employer contact, include date, web address, or newspaper name or address, the job applied for, such as a job reference number, or attach a copy of the job announcement or a confirmation notice received after your application was submitted;

(b) For in-person job search activities at the WorkSource office or local reemployment center, record the date contact was made; and a description of the services you received or the activities in which you participated.

(3) Is there a specific form I must use? The department will supply you with a form (EMS 10313) to use in tracking your job search activities. You may use your own form or tracking method as long as you record all information required by this section.

(4) How long should I keep my log? Keep your log for at least sixty days after the end of your benefit year or thirty days after receiving your final payment on any extension of benefits, whichever is later.
