    Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) Provider Instructions

    Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) Provider Instructions November 7, 2017 Prepared by the Employment Connections Division What is the Self-Employment Assistance Program? In 2007, the State Legislature authorized the Self-Employment Assistance Program (SEAP) to help unemployed individuals who are likely to run out of unemployment benefits before they find work and to create new businesses and job opportunities. SEAP allows people to collect benefits while they train to start and operate their own business. On June 7, 2012 the State Legislature modified SEAP law requiring the Employment Security Department (ESD) to inform all individuals eligible under RCW 50.20.010 of the availability of self- employment assistance and entrepreneurial training program and of the training provision of RCW 50.20.43 which may allow an individual to pursue Commissioner Approved Training (CAT). To be eligible for SEAP, a person must: 1. Be eligible to collect regular unemployment benefits. 2. Be identified as “likely to exhaust” under the ESD worker-profiling system or be eligible for CAT. 3. Be enrolled in a self-employment assistance program that is approved by the department. 4. Make satisfactory progress in the approved program. Like CAT and Training Benefits, SEAP does not pay for books, tuition or school-related fees. It simply pays the regular unemployment-benefit amount each week while the participants are satisfactorily progressing in their approved program. However, enrollment in a self-employment assistance program does not entitle the participant to any benefit payments he or she would otherwise to be entitled to, had he or she not enrolled in the program.
