Identifies which Washington public works contracts have no approved Affidavit of Wages Paid on file and prepares the legal filing to release frozen retainage

On its own page, read 14 September 2026

Retainage stays frozen until the Affidavit clears

Check whether retainage on your Washington public-works contract is frozen because no approved Affidavit of Wages Paid appears in L&I's published file. Free lookup by company name or UBI.

  • Nobody tells a fourth-tier sub the money was never released.The job is finished and the building is open. The retainage on it can still be sitting at the agency.
  • What the $59 closeout packet containsOne contract, prepared end to end. You file it from your own My L&I account, we do not file on your behalf and we never claim to.
