After a job loss: find the right place for help

After a job loss, you may have questions about both income support and finding work. These questions can lead to different organizations.

For unemployment applications

Use the Washington Employment Security Department’s official application instructions. ESD determines eligibility and manages claims. Consult its current guidance for your situation.

For your job search

Explore WorkSource’s job-seeker resources and KCR’s employment assistance for practical support.

Keep private claim and identity information within official application channels. Kitsap Works helps you find these resources; it does not process applications or benefit claims.
