One more tip - screenshot everything in your Washington ESD account regularly. I've heard of people losing claim information and having to start over.
One thing nobody mentioned - if you get approved for UI, you'll need to report any severance pay or vacation payout you receive. That can affect your benefit timing. Just something to keep in mind.
Bottom line - file your claim as soon as you're terminated, be completely honest about what happened, keep all your documentation, and don't panic if it goes to adjudication. Most non-misconduct cases get approved eventually, it just takes time.

•Same here! It's nice to know other people are going through the same thing and that there's light at the end of the tunnel.
