Are unemployment payments delayed this week Washington ESD?

Thanks for letting me know yours went through! I'll check my account again in a few hours.

Washington ESD payments can vary by a day or two depending on your bank's processing times too

Good point, I'll log into SAW and check the payment status there

That maintenance always seems to mess something up, typical Washington ESD

Never heard of that service before, is it legit? I'm getting desperate to talk to someone about this.

Yeah it's real, they basically help you get connected when the Washington ESD phone system is overloaded. Saved me hours of calling.

I used claimyr too after spending two weeks trying to reach Washington ESD about my adjudication issue. Actually worked.

Have you tried calling them about the recurring delays? That's not normal.

LOL good luck getting through to anyone at Washington ESD. I've given up calling.

Recurring payment delays usually indicate an underlying issue with your claim that needs to be addressed

That's a good suggestion, I haven't checked that in months

This happened to my sister too, turned out one digit in her account number was wrong

Washington ESD doesn't have emergency payment options, but you can request expedited processing if there's a system error causing the delay

how do you request that?? their website doesnt explain anything

You have to call them directly, which is why that claimyr service mentioned earlier might help you actually get through

Oh that's reassuring to hear from someone in the industry, thank you!

Federal processing changes? Can you explain what that means exactly?

New federal banking regulations went into effect this month that require additional verification steps for certain government payments

That gives me hope, thanks for the update!

Mine just hit too, must be the system catching up

That's really frustrating when you're trying to budget and plan expenses

Right?? Like how are we supposed to pay bills when we don't know when the money is coming

This is exactly why I ended up using that claimyr service to talk to someone about my payment schedule inconsistencies

Federal holidays can delay ACH processing by 1-2 business days, so that could definitely be a factor

I forgot about MLK day, that probably explains the delay

Awesome! I'm going to check mine right now

Good to hear they're catching up on the delayed payments

Still waiting on mine but this gives me hope it's coming soon

I didn't know that existed, do you have a link?

It's buried in their website under the payments section, not easy to find unfortunately

Yeah it's definitely not just isolated cases, their payment system needs work

At least we can help each other figure out what's normal vs what needs attention
