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.
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.
hope everything works out! getting fired sucks but at least washington has decent unemployment benefits compared to some states

Update us on what happens when you apply! I'm in a similar situation and curious how it works out for you.

•Will do! Thanks everyone for all the helpful info. I'm going to gather my employment records and apply this week.

Good luck! The worst thing that can happen is they say no, but at least you'll know for sure. And if you do qualify, every week you wait to apply is a week of benefits you're missing out on.

•Very true. I should stop procrastinating and just do it. Thanks for the motivation!

•Exactly - there's no penalty for applying and finding out you don't qualify, but there is a cost to waiting if you do qualify.
