Does anyone know if they announce the new maximum benefit amount before July or do we just find out when it happens?
i filed last month and got my first payment about 3 weeks later... not too bad considering all the horror stories i heard. just stay on top of your weekly claims!
The anticipation is killing me too! At least we're all in this together. Update us when you hear something!
I had a friend who used that Claimyr service when Washington ESD wasn't responding to his messages about a delay. Turned out there was just a simple verification issue that got resolved immediately once he talked to an agent.

The job search requirements are actually pretty flexible. You can count things like updating your resume, attending virtual job fairs, or even researching companies as job search activities.

•Yes, keep a detailed log with dates, company names, and what you did. Washington ESD can audit your job search activities at any time.

•WorkSourceWA has a built-in job search tracking tool that makes this easier. You can log activities right in their system.

If you run into problems or have questions after filing, don't hesitate to call for help. I know the phone lines are busy, but that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier really does work. Got me through to a real person in minutes instead of hours.

•Good luck! The process seems overwhelming at first but it's really not that bad once you get started. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
