www.esd.wa.gov - Sign Up for Unemployment in Washington State

If you want to Sign Up for Unemployment in Washington State. Log onto the website of the Washington State Employment Security Department. On the homepage, click on "Apply For Unemployment Benefits" and then click on the "online unemployment benefits application" link. You can also apply by telephone.

Complete the online application, including your Social Security number, personal information, contact information, eligibility information, employment history, primary occupation description and reason for your unemployment. You also can sign up for direct deposit of your unemployment benefits. You will need your account and routing numbers from your bank or credit union for this.

Read your "Unemployment Claims Kit" booklet when it arrives in the mail and follow its instructions. You must file every week to continue receiving benefits but you won't be paid for the first week, which is your waiting week. Continue filing claims weekly either by phone or online, beginning at 12:01 a.m. Sunday for the previous week. You must make at least three employer contacts per week to remain eligible for benefits. Several WorkSource workshops and other activities count toward this quota, so contact an Employment Security Department caseworker about those.
