Unemployment Update
Presidential Memorandum to replace $600/week extension under assessment; effects not yet certain:
On Aug. 8, the Trump Administration issued a memorandum that referenced a program for lost wage assistance to eligible claimants. Washington state is assessing the Presidential Memorandum.
When additional information is available, the Employment Security Department (ESD) will communicate with claimants through its website, social media and direct claimant communications. ESD phone support specialists are not able to advise callers on this issue – the department discourages phone inquiries on the topic to maintain focus on claims resolution.
