Update us when you figure it out! I'm sure other people will have this same question and it would be helpful to know what method actually worked for you.

I had a similar issue recently and found that the records are actually in the "Benefits Information" section, not under current claims. After logging into SecureAccess Washington, look for "Benefits Information" then "Payment Details" - it should show your complete payment history with dates and amounts that you can export as a PDF. The interface is pretty clunky but the data is there. If that section isn't showing up for you, try switching browsers - I had to use Edge instead of Chrome to see all the menu options properly.

The bottom line is exhausted = you used up your 26 weeks of benefits for this benefit year. It's not a punishment or disqualification, just means you've received the maximum amount allowed. Keep job searching and hang in there!

I went through this exact same situation a few months ago and the panic is real! "Exhausted" is definitely the worst word they could have chosen - it sounds like you failed somehow when really it just means you've received all 26 weeks of regular benefits for your benefit year. I'd recommend calling Washington ESD to confirm there are no extended benefits available right now and to ask about filing a new claim if you had any work during your current benefit year. Also look into other resources like food assistance and job training programs while you're job hunting. The job market is tough but you'll get through this!

my cousin works at WorkSource and says adjudication is taking forever for everyone right now. just keep filing every week and theyll backpay u eventually

I'm going through almost the exact same situation right now - filed in mid-February after my company downsized, and I'm at 5 weeks in adjudication with no end in sight. The financial stress is unreal when you're just sitting there waiting with no timeline or updates. What's helped me cope is setting up a daily routine of checking my account first thing in the morning, then not checking again until the next day (obsessively refreshing just makes the anxiety worse). I've also been documenting everything - screenshots of my account status, records of when I called and what automated messages I got, dates of weekly claim filings, etc. From reading everyone's responses here, it sounds like the state rep route might be worth trying if you're past the 6-week mark. And definitely keep filing those weekly claims! The thought of potentially getting 6+ weeks of backpay when this finally resolves is what's keeping me going. Hang in there - you're not alone in this mess.

Bottom line: file now, report your severance accurately, and don't overthink it. Washington ESD deals with this situation all the time. The system is designed to handle severance payments alongside unemployment benefits.

Just wanted to chime in as someone who went through this exact situation 8 months ago. I was so confused about the severance rules that I almost didn't file at all, thinking I had to wait. Biggest mistake would have been waiting! I ended up filing right away and just reported my severance each week. The Washington ESD system handled everything automatically - no issues at all. My advice is definitely file now and don't stress too much about the technicalities. The system is built to handle these common situations. Good luck with your claim!

If anyone else is dealing with this, definitely keep trying to reach Washington ESD even if it takes multiple attempts. Your benefits shouldn't be held up because your employer didn't do their job properly. There are ways to establish your eligibility even when employers aren't compliant.

Another thing to keep in mind - even if your employer wasn't properly registered or paying UI taxes, Washington ESD can still establish your wage credits based on your actual earnings. You might need to provide extra documentation like bank deposits from paychecks, but they have procedures for these situations. I've seen cases where workers got their full benefits even when the employer was completely non-compliant. The key is being persistent and having all your paperwork ready when you finally get through to someone who can help.
