Best of luck with your job search once you get everything sorted out. It's great that your condition has improved to the point where you can consider working again.
Been there! Lost my $1100/week job last year and was so stressed about money. Unemployment definitely helped bridge the gap while I found something new. Don't be afraid to use the system - you paid into it with your taxes.
If you run into any issues with your claim or need to talk to someone at Washington ESD, that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier is actually pretty helpful. My sister used it when her claim got stuck and it saved her weeks of trying to get through. Worth keeping in mind if you need it.
One last piece of advice - keep detailed records of everything related to your termination and your unemployment claim. Save emails, write down dates and times of phone calls, keep copies of all your paperwork. If there's ever a dispute or appeal, having good documentation makes all the difference.
My biggest advice is to file your weekly claims on the same day every week. I always did mine on Sunday mornings so I wouldn't forget. Consistency helps avoid missing deadlines.

Has anyone tried using Claimyr for getting help with the application itself, or is it just for calling Washington ESD later?

•I used it mainly for calling about my claim status after I filed, but I think they can help you get connected to agents for questions about the application process too. The agents can walk you through it if you get stuck.

Just wanted to follow up and say I successfully filed my claim online yesterday using everyone's advice here! The process took about 40 minutes once I had all my info together. Thanks for all the help!

•Just be patient with the website - it's not the most user-friendly but it works. And definitely have all your employment info organized before you start.
