Just wanted to add that if you're currently on unemployment, make sure you're meeting all your requirements. Don't let worries about the future derail your current claim.
My take: prepare for change but don't panic. Keep your skills current, stay flexible, and remember that humans have adapted to technological disruption before.
For what it's worth, I've found Washington ESD's payment system to be more reliable than their phone system. Payments come on time way more often than I can get someone on the phone.
That's why services like Claimyr exist - to bridge that gap when you actually need to talk to someone.
The Washington ESD payment system is pretty reliable once you get used to it. Tuesday/Wednesday is the norm, just make sure you're filing correctly and meeting all requirements.
Just wanted to add that if you ever need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about payment issues, that Claimyr thing is legit. Saved me so much time and frustration trying to get through on the phone normally.
Final thought - if you need to speak with Washington ESD during the process and can't get through on your own, that Claimyr service at claimyr.com really does work. Sometimes you just need to talk to a human to get things sorted out.

•about 3 weeks after I filed, and that was with no issues on my claim. some people wait much longer if their claim goes into adjudication

I'm curious about the quarterly earnings thing. If I worked in multiple states, do earnings from other states count toward Washington's requirements?

•Sounds like I'd definitely need to call them then. Ugh, back to the phone system nightmare.

•That's exactly the kind of situation where Claimyr might be worth it. Complex questions like interstate claims really need to be handled by talking to an actual person, not trying to figure it out through their website.
