1 Unduplicated count of all claimants who received an unemployment benefit payment in the month. Because claimants may receive more than one benefit type in a month, the separate totals for EUC, extended benefits (EB) and regular benefits cannot be combined to form a total count of individuals who received some form of unemployment benefits in the month. TB claimant counts are included in these figures.

2 Up to 26 weeks of benefits. Paid from the state Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund. Training benefits are excluded from these figures.

3 The EUC program is not available for a benefit week beyond December 29, 2013. Claimants may have received EUC in January on a claim for this last available week of EUC.

4 Up to 52 weeks of continued compensation to claimants who are in approved training programs and paid after any regular and extended benefits are
exhausted. Benefits paid are 52 weeks times the weekly benefit amount less any regular and extended benefits paid. Recent legislation will change the order
of priority after July 3, 2011 to be paid after all federal benefits have been exhausted.

5 Claimants who have exhausted all unemployment benefit entitlements since EUC was implemented in July 2008.

6 Unemployment insurance regular benefits, training benefits, temporary state stimulus of $45/week and increased minimum weekly benefit amount, where applicable.

7 EUC, 100 percent of extended benefits (EB) through April 21, 2012, and federal additional compensation (FAC).

8 OOS/other: Washington claimants residing out of state or with non-recognizable street addresses in WA.
