What day does Washington ESD unemployment deposit come through?

I just filed my weekly claim yesterday and I'm trying to figure out what day my unemployment deposit will hit my account. This is my second week claiming and I can't remember when it came last time. Does Washington ESD have a set schedule for when they deposit unemployment payments? I need to know so I can plan my bills accordingly.

Usually Tuesday or Wednesday if you file your weekly claim on Sunday. Washington ESD processes payments in batches so it depends on when you submit your claim.

Ok good to know, I filed Monday morning so hopefully by Wednesday then

0 coins

yeah mine always comes tuesday when i file sunday night

The deposit schedule can vary based on your bank too. Some banks release ACH deposits faster than others. Washington ESD typically sends payments out Monday-Tuesday for claims filed over the weekend.

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

0 coins

Chase is pretty quick, you should see it by Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning at the latest.

If you're having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to check on payment status, I found this service called Claimyr that helped me reach an agent. They have a demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ and their site is claimyr.com. Really helped when my payments were delayed and I needed to talk to someone.

How much does that cost? I'm already broke waiting for my unemployment money

0 coins

It's worth it when you need to actually reach someone at Washington ESD. Way better than calling for hours and getting hung up on.

I'll keep that in mind if my payment doesn't show up this week, thanks

0 coins

mine comes every tuesday like clockwork but i file my weekly claim sunday morning every week same time

0 coins

Same here, I've gotten into a routine of filing Sunday and expecting money Tuesday

0 coins

That's smart, I should get on a regular schedule too

Washington ESD is SO SLOW with everything. I've been waiting 3 weeks for my adjudication to clear and still no payments at all!

0 coins

That's a different issue - adjudication delays can take weeks unfortunately. OP is asking about regular payment timing.

0 coins

Well hopefully they get their money faster than I'm getting mine...

0 coins

For adjudication issues, that Claimyr service I mentioned earlier really helps get through to agents who can check your case status

0 coins

Just to clarify - you have to file your weekly claim first before any deposit happens. You can't get paid without completing your weekly claim certification on the Washington ESD website.

0 coins

Yes I filed it yesterday, just wondering about timing now

0 coins

Make sure you're filing every week even if you worked some hours. You still might qualify for partial benefits.

0 coins

I always check my account Tuesday morning and it's usually there by 8am. If it's not there by Wednesday something is probably wrong.

0 coins

Good rule of thumb, I'll check Tuesday morning then

0 coins

Yeah Wednesday is when I start to worry and call Washington ESD

0 coins

And if you can't get through to Washington ESD, that's when services like Claimyr really come in handy for reaching an actual person

TUESDAY IS UNEMPLOYMENT DAY! Every Tuesday like Christmas morning lol. Well not as fun as Christmas but you know what I mean.

0 coins

Haha I can relate, definitely looking forward to Tuesday now

0 coins

tuesday is my favorite day of the week now lol

One thing to watch out for - if there are any issues with your claim that week (like you reported work hours incorrectly or there's a system glitch), your payment might be delayed. Washington ESD will usually send you a notice if there's a problem.

0 coins

I was pretty careful filling it out so hopefully no issues

0 coins

You should be fine then. Just keep an eye out for any notices in your SecureAccess Washington account.

If you have direct deposit set up correctly, you're looking at Tuesday-Wednesday. If you're getting a debit card, it might take an extra day or two.

0 coins

I have direct deposit so that's good

0 coins

Direct deposit is definitely faster than the debit card option

0 coins

I remember my first few weeks I was checking my account every hour waiting for the money to show up. Now I just know it'll be there Tuesday and don't stress about it.

0 coins

That's probably going to be me this week, constantly checking my bank account

0 coins

We've all been there! It gets easier once you know the routine

0 coins

Just make sure you keep doing your job search activities too. Washington ESD requires 3 job search activities per week and they do audit people randomly.

0 coins

Yeah I've been keeping track of my job applications in WorkSourceWA

0 coins

Good, that's the safest way to document everything for Washington ESD

0 coins

My experience: Sunday filing = Tuesday deposit. Monday filing = Wednesday deposit. That's been consistent for me over the past 6 months.

0 coins

Perfect, so Wednesday for me since I filed Monday. Thanks for the clear breakdown!

0 coins

That matches my experience too, very reliable timing

0 coins

Update us when your payment hits! Always curious to hear if the timing predictions are right.

0 coins

Will do! I'll post back here Wednesday if it comes through

0 coins

Yeah please update, helps other people in similar situations

0 coins

And if it doesn't come through, that Claimyr service mentioned earlier can help you reach Washington ESD to find out what's wrong
