Last thing - make sure you're available for work and actively looking for jobs. Washington ESD does check on that stuff and it can affect your claim if you're not meeting the requirements.
Hoping you get good news soon! The first approval is always the most nerve-wracking but once it goes through the weekly payments usually come pretty regularly.
Just want to emphasize what others have said - NEVER hide income from Washington ESD. They cross-reference with employers and tax records. It's not worth trying to game the system.
If anyone else needs to talk to Washington ESD about partial benefits or work reporting, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier really does work. Used it last month when I had questions about how my seasonal work would affect my benefits.
Hope everything works out for you! The waiting is definitely the hardest part but most people do get approved if they were legitimately laid off. Keep us posted on how it goes!
Will do! Thanks again for the Claimyr recommendation. I'm feeling a lot better about the whole process now.
