Services performed by a person appointed as an officer of a corporation under RCW 23B.08.400 , other than those covered by chapters 50.44 and 50.50 RCW, shall not be considered services in employment. However, a corporation may elect to cover not less than all of its corporate officers under RCW 50.24.160 . If an employer does not elect to cover its corporate officers under RCW 50.24.160 , the employer must notify its corporate officers in writing that they are ineligible for unemployment benefits. However, if the employer fails to provide notice, the individual's status as a corporate officer is unchanged and the person remains ineligible for unemployment benefits.
