How long after certifying weekly claim does Washington ESD payment show up?

That's a relief, thank you! So if I always certify on Sunday I should be good for Thursday bills.

Just make sure you don't have any pending issues on your claim that could delay payment

I have Chase, do you know if they're usually quick with unemployment deposits?

Chase is hit or miss, sometimes same day sometimes takes an extra day. I'd plan for Wednesday to be safe.

Try early morning like 6-7 AM, that's when I have the best luck with the site

I'll try that tomorrow morning, thanks for the tip!

You can also try calling if the website won't work, but good luck getting through

Is that legit? Sounds too good to be true with how impossible it is to reach Washington ESD

I was skeptical too but it actually worked. They basically keep calling for you until they get through

Might try this if I keep having website issues, thanks!

How do you know which week to certify for? The system just shows me one option

It should show the dates of the week you're certifying for. Just double check those dates match the week you're claiming

That's definitely not normal. You should call or check if there's an issue with your claim

yeah right, calling Washington ESD is basically impossible. I'll just keep waiting I guess

This is exactly why I used Claimyr - couldn't get through on my own but they got me connected to figure out what was wrong with my claim

Could be taxes being withheld if you elected that option. Check your payment details in your account

Oh that might be it, I did elect tax withholding. Thanks!

Interesting, I'll try that next week!

Makes sense, probably less server load at that time

You can certify late but it might delay your payment. Washington ESD prefers you certify by Sunday night

Good to know, I'll set a reminder so I don't forget

That's reassuring to hear from someone with experience. Thanks!

Just make sure you're doing your job search activities or they might put a hold on your claim

Same here, it's usually Tuesday or Wednesday for me

At least it sounds like it's never later than Wednesday for most people

Good point, I should double check that in my profile

Yeah it's under the payment preferences section if I remember right

How much does something like that cost though?

It was reasonable compared to the stress of not knowing what was going on with my claim. Check their website for details.

Haha yes! I've been doing exactly that since Sunday

We've all been there. Gets easier after a few weeks when you know the pattern

That's good to know. Did they notify you about the review or did you just have to figure it out?

They sent a message in my SecureAccess account but I almost missed it

Perfect summary, thank you everyone for all the helpful responses!

Good luck with your rent payment! Sounds like you'll be covered by Thursday
