Just want to update everyone - my claim finally got approved today! Took exactly 3 weeks and 2 days. Hang in there everyone, it will happen!
Just remember to keep doing your job search requirements and report everything accurately on your weekly claims. That's the best way to keep payments coming on schedule without any holds or issues.
Make sure when you file that you're totally honest about why you left your job. If there are any issues with your separation Washington ESD will contact your employer and any inconsistencies can delay or disqualify your claim.
Also remember that your first week is usually a waiting week where you don't get paid, so factor that into your planning. Your benefits start with the second week if you're approved.

Last suggestion - if you have a smartphone, take photos of all your documents before you go. Just in case you forget something or they ask for something you didn't bring.

•This saved me when they asked for a document I'd left at home. Having the photo was enough for them to proceed.
