I'm getting $445/week after working in tech for 3 years. The calculation seems fair based on what I was making. Just make sure you file your weekly claims on time every week.
Thanks everyone for all the info! I feel much more prepared to file my claim now. Sounds like I can expect around $285/week based on my earnings history.
Bottom line: you should be able to get unemployment after workers comp ends as long as you're medically cleared to work and available for employment. The process might take a bit longer but it's definitely possible.
make sure your address is correct in the system too. i had mail going to my old address for weeks before i realized

Final thought - if you do end up needing to contact Washington ESD directly, have all your information ready: Social Security number, claim confirmation number, employment dates, and specific questions written down. The agents are helpful but the calls are often short.

•Good luck! Most people do get through the process eventually, it's just the waiting that's the hardest part.
