Thomas v. Employment Security Department

Court of Appeals of Washington

Decided August 5, 2013No. 69252-6-IPublishedCited by 5 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtLau, J.

¶1 John Thomas appeals from a Washington Employment Security Department commissioner’s decision denying his request for unemployment benefits. The commissioner applied RCW 50.44.050 and determined that Thomas, an elementary school lunchroom manager, was ineligible for benefits because he was a school employee who sought benefits during a summer school break period, despite having a reasonable assurance of returning to work at the beginning of the next academic year. Because the commissioner correctly applied the law to the unchallenged factual findings, we affirm.
