How to check unemployment overpayment balance with Washington ESD?

You can check your overpayment balance by logging into your Washington ESD account through SecureAccess Washington. Look for the 'Overpayment' or 'Account Balance' section under your claim details. It should show your original debt amount, payments made, and remaining balance.

I had the same problem tracking my overpayment balance. Washington ESD's website is confusing for this stuff. I ended up calling them directly but it took forever to get through.

The overpayment balance should be visible in your online account, but Washington ESD's system is notoriously bad at displaying this information clearly. You might need to look under 'Determinations' or 'Notices' to find details about your debt.

ugh this is so annoying!! why cant they just have a simple balance page like every other website?? i've been paying mine for months and have no idea how much is left

You can also request a detailed overpayment statement by calling Washington ESD's customer service line. They should be able to provide you with a complete payment history and current balance over the phone.

I tried using Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD about my overpayment balance and it actually worked! Got connected to an agent who pulled up my account and gave me the exact remaining balance and payment history. Way better than trying to navigate their confusing website.

Another option is to check if you receive monthly statements in the mail. Washington ESD sometimes sends overpayment balance statements, but not consistently.

Try looking under 'Payment History' in your account. Mine shows both benefit payments I received and overpayment collections they've taken. It's not super clear but the information is there.

If you're making payments through the website, you should be getting email confirmations for each payment. Those emails usually include your remaining balance after the payment is processed.

Washington ESD's overpayment tracking is a mess. I ended up keeping my own spreadsheet to track payments because their system is so unreliable. Start with your original overpayment amount and subtract each payment you make.

You can also try calling first thing in the morning when they open. I've had better luck getting through to Washington ESD early in the day to ask about overpayment balances.

if you have wage garnishment for the overpayment, your paystubs should show how much is being taken out. that can help you calculate remaining balance too

I used Claimyr recently to get through to Washington ESD about a different issue but asked about my overpayment while I had them on the line. The agent was super helpful and explained exactly how to navigate to the balance information in my online account. Apparently there's a specific path you have to follow that's not obvious.

The Washington ESD mobile app sometimes shows different information than the website. Have you tried checking there for your overpayment balance?

If you set up automatic payments, you should get monthly statements showing your balance. But if you're making manual payments, the tracking seems to be hit or miss with Washington ESD's system.

This whole thread is making me realize how broken Washington ESD's overpayment system is. We shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to see our account balance.

I work in debt collection and deal with state agencies regularly. Washington ESD's overpayment system is notoriously difficult to navigate. Here's what I'd recommend: 1) Log into your SecureAccess account and look under "Account Information" or "Claims" - sometimes the balance is buried in subsections. 2) Check your bank statements for payment confirmations that might include balance info. 3) If all else fails, send a written request for an account statement to Washington ESD - they're required to provide this information. Keep records of everything, and don't rely solely on their online system since it's known to have delays and display issues.
