Chapter 192-930 WAC

(1) The department may inspect and audit employer files and records as needed to ensure compliance with Title 50B RCW. Audits may take place at the discretion of the department.

(2) Employers must provide all requested information to the department within 10 business days or a time frame agreed to by the department.

(3) The department may inspect and audit self-employed and out-of-state participant elective coverage documentation at intervals determined by the department.

(4) If the department discovers violations for the time frame being audited, the department may expand the audit to include prior and subsequent reporting periods, up to the most recently completed reporting period.

Employers must provide all requested documentation as it pertains to the long-term services and supports trust program under Title 50B RCW. If an employer fails or refuses to provide necessary payroll or other wage information during an audit, the department may determine payroll and wage information for the purposes of premium assessment based on information otherwise available to the department. This may include information from the same employer, similar employers, labor market information, information provided to other state or local agencies, or the best information otherwise available to the department.
