Unemplyoment in Washington State?

Question

I filed my intial claim for partial-unemployment benefits on Wednesday. If I file my first claim on Sunday (for the week we're currently on), does that count as my "waiting" week, or do I have to go from Sunday (11/8) to next Sunday(11/15) as my waiting week?

Your first week should be a waiting week. When I had unemployment it was my 2nd week because I didn't qualify for benefits on my 1st week because I made money that current week. When you filed your claim on wed. you should be able to check the claim status and it should tell you if that week is that waiting week.
