How to find last unemployment payment details in Washington ESD system?

Thanks! I found the Payment Information tab but it's only showing payments from the last month. Is there a way to see older payments?

There should be a date range selector at the top of that page. You can expand it to show payments from earlier in your claim period.

Good luck getting through to anyone at ESD on the phone though. I've been trying for days and keep getting hung up on or stuck in endless hold queues.

Actually, I just discovered this service called Claimyr that helps you get through to ESD agents faster. They have a system that handles the calling for you - check out claimyr.com. There's even a demo video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ

I totally agree. The whole UI system feels like it was designed to make things as difficult as possible for claimants.

While I understand the frustration, once you know where to look the payment info is actually pretty comprehensive. The issue is more about the navigation being unintuitive.

I need to find my last payment that was issued about two weeks ago. I want to verify the amount and date because my bank statement shows a deposit but I want to make sure it's the right one.

In that case definitely use the Payment Information section like others mentioned. Your most recent payments should show up there first, so you shouldn't need to dig too deep.

The ESD system shows the issue date - when they processed and sent the payment. Your bank might receive it 1-2 business days later depending on your bank's processing times.

That makes sense, thanks! So if I'm trying to match up with my bank statement I need to account for that delay.

Oh wow, that would be terrifying! How did you get that fixed?

I had to call ESD to update my banking info and then wait for them to research where the payment went. Took forever but they eventually tracked it down and reissued it to the correct account.

Is that service legit? I'm always skeptical of third-party services that claim they can help with government stuff.

I was skeptical too at first, but it's just a calling service that helps you get through the phone queue. They don't access your account or anything - they just get you connected to a real ESD agent. Check out their demo video if you want to see how it works.

I'm on regular UI, not standby, so hopefully the standard payment history view will work for me.

Yes! I thought it was just my internet but everything else loads fine. The ESD site has been crawling for the past few days.

They might be doing system maintenance or updates. Usually helps to try again during off-peak hours like early morning or late evening.

That's a good backup plan. I do get email confirmations when I file my weekly claims, so those might have the payment details too.

That's really helpful! I do see a deposit labeled that way, so it's probably the right one. Just wanted to double-check the timing.

Wait, tax withholdings? I don't remember selecting any tax options when I set up my claim. Should I be worried?

No worries - tax withholding is optional. If you didn't select it, your full benefit amount gets deposited and you'll handle taxes when you file your return.

Yeah, Claimyr definitely saved me a lot of frustration. The traditional calling approach was just eating up so much of my time with no results.

No official mobile app that I know of. You have to use the SecureAccess Washington website through your mobile browser. It's not great but it works.

Ugh, that's what I figured. Washington really needs to modernize their technology.

That might explain why I'm having trouble finding the details for my most recent payment. Maybe I need to wait a bit longer for the system to update.

Good point! I'll make sure I'm looking in the right section. Thanks for the tip.
