Thank you for the resources, they were invaluable and I was able to figure out how to successfully file my claim this summer by following the roadmap! I have since returned to full time employment and I filed one last weekly claim reporting my hours and income. I saw on the ESD website that I don’t need to report anything to close the claim, I can simply stop filing. However, if I log into ESD it still sends me weekly alerts that I need to file, so just wanted to confirm I’m not missing a step anywhere.

The clam does not become inactive until after the 4th week of no claims being filed. so it just... they're going to send them to you until you stop for 4 weeks so I don't know when you stopped but that would be when.

compilation of this stuff is here. none of this stuff has changed since I originally wrote it back in 2021. they can still ask for information and you still have to respond
