ESD website not showing weekly claim filing option - system glitch?

This happened to me last month. There are a few possible reasons: 1. If it's not your regular filing day yet (the system assigns you a specific day based on your SSN) 2. If there was a holiday that shifted the schedule 3. If your benefit year ended (check your claim summary page for this) 4. If you have an unresolved issue that's put a hold on your claim Check your notices/letters in your ESD account. Sometimes they send messages through there rather than email. Also, check your claim status - if it shows "disqualified" or "pending adjudication" that could explain why the filing option disappeared.

did u check at thhe bottom of the page? sometimes mine hides there lol. or maybe try clicking on the "ui claim" tab first then look for weekly claim button.

This is most likely what we call a "claim status desynchronization" issue. Basically the system thinks you've already filed or there's another technical problem. You need to speak with an ESD agent directly to reset your claim portal. Unfortunately, as you probably know, getting through to ESD on the phone is extremely difficult. After waiting on hold for hours myself last year, I found a service called Claimyr that connects you with an ESD agent quickly. You can check out how it works at claimyr.com or watch their demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Once you get an agent, specifically tell them you're experiencing a "weekly claim filing option not appearing" issue. They'll need to look at the backend of your claim and potentially reset something on their end.

DONT PANIC! The EXACT same thing happened to me last week. The stupid ESD website is ALWAYS having problems!! I couldn't file for like 3 days and was freaking out. Then suddenly on Wednesday the option just appeared again with no explanation. You might want to wait a day and check again before going through the hassle of calling them.

Another possibility is that if you reported earnings above a certain threshold on your previous weekly claim, the system might temporarily stop offering the filing option. This happened to me when I picked up a one-week contract job. The system couldn't properly calculate my partial benefit and needed manual review. If none of the other suggestions work, you absolutely need to contact ESD directly. When you do get through, make sure they check: 1. Your claim status in their internal system (not just what you see) 2. Whether there are any pending issues not visible to you 3. If your account needs a technical reset Document the date/time you first noticed this issue, any steps you've taken, and the name of any agent you speak with. This documentation helps if there's any delay in your payment.

i used to work at workforce snohomish before i got laid off and now im on UI too lol. anyway sometimes the esd system does maintenance on weekends and things disappear temporarily. have u tried checking after midnight? sometimes the system refreshes and fixes itself overnight

UPDATE: I finally got through to ESD this morning! Turns out there was a system-wide issue affecting some accounts that started yesterday. The agent was able to reset something on their end, and now the file weekly claim button is back! She said I should file right away since I'm already a day late. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
