Time to file your quarterly report!

This is a reminder to all employers to file your quarterly report and pay your premiums, if you haven't already, which are due for the fourth quarter (Oct. 1, 2021 - Dec. 31, 2021) no later than January 31, 2022.

All employers must file a report — even if you don't have any hours to report or premiums due. In this case, you may write “0” for worker hours/units and payroll.

If you don't file your report by the deadline, a late filing penalty, and possible interest charges, will be assessed.

If you are unable to pay your quarterly premiums during the COVID-19 pandemic, still file your report before the January 31 deadline. 

L&I has an Employer Assistance Program to assist you with a payment plan during the COVID-19 pandemic. You must make a new request each quarter.  

L&I services for filing your quarterly report are available online through QuickFile and the Claim & Account Center.  Go to File Quarterly Reports and file your quarterly report now.

Please note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most L&I regional offices remain closed to the public, based on current public health guidance. Our customer service specialists remain available to help you by phone from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays. Simply call the phone number for your closest regional office, or call our L&I Office of Information and Assistance at 360.902.5800 to find out how to reach your local office. We are also always available to help customers via our website at lni.wa.gov.

Five L&I regional offices are currently open for limited, pre-scheduled, in-person customer appointments. Those regional offices are: Spokane, Kennewick, Tumwater, Silverdale, and Mount Vernon. To schedule an appointment, please call one of these offices directly. Other offices will open for in-person customer appointments in February and March.
