Hi Maesmaze, the man was Kenneth Stewart, locals called him Bob, or Hippie Bob. He was a very quiet, very nice man. R.I.P. Ken.

You are too right Sgt....just hope that that "NO" doesn't get reported. Companies like Express employment and other temp agencies will report that. If canadian wanted to, he could report them for not showing....that would lead to an investigation/possible loss of claim. Nothing you can do about the intentional crappy interview. If you let them go for performance or lack thereof, they are not entitled to a claim unless they can prove good reason that they were not able to do the job. It isn't as easy as just being fired. Not arguing, agreeing with you moreso, just want to make it clear that just getting fired vs. quitting a job doesn't cut it when claiming unemployment.

Also, when you get into the EB (Extended Benefits) phase, you are no longer bound by the requirements truetoform mentioned above, you have to report 4 contacts, not just log them, but actually report them when you file your weekly claim. You no longer can just look for work in your field, or what you are used to making. Pretty much any job above minimum wage is a qualified job at that point. You are expected to apply for any job that you are capable of doing, favorable to your line of work or not. http://www.esd.wa.gov/uibenefits/fileweekly/eb-ad...
Hope this post helps.

Canadian, not sure if you ever got your answers.....as an employer, if you invite someone to an interview and they fail to show up, they can/will lose their benefits. One of the first questions on the benefits application is...Did you fail to go to a scheduled interview? That being said, I am sure alot of the emails you get are simply to "make the job search requirements". As someone that is looking to hire, this puts a bad taste in your mouth and wastes alot of your time.....this, in turn, messes it up for the people that truly do want an interview with you, as you have to waste so much time sorting them all out.

As for the second question, if you take a job that is less money than your unemployment compensation, you can still claim the difference...it isn't dollar for dollar, but they will reduce your compensation amount to relect wages earned.

Dear dmcq,
If we are going to correct everyone else, shouldn't it be "please note that KATU has CHANGED the wording...."? Please correct yours. Thank you! :)
