What day does Washington ESD unemployment pay - Tuesday or Wednesday?

Washington ESD typically processes payments on Tuesday nights, so most people see their deposits on Wednesday morning. But it can depend on your bank - some credit unions show pending deposits earlier than big banks.

mine always comes wednesday morning around 6am, been consistent for months now

I had similar confusion when I started collecting. If you're having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to verify your payment schedule, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you actually reach an agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works. Made it so much easier to get answers about my claim status.

WEDNESDAY MORNING IS WHEN THEY PAY!!! Been getting mine every Wednesday for 8 months straight. Washington ESD processes Tuesday night, deposits show up Wednesday AM. Don't stress about it.

The payment schedule depends on whether you're getting regular UI benefits or if you're on standby status. Regular unemployment benefits process Tuesday nights for Wednesday deposits. But if you're on standby, the timing might be different since those payments go through a different system.

been waiting 3 weeks for any payment at all, stuck in adjudication hell

my credit union shows pending deposits tuesday afternoon but official deposit date is always wednesday

Wednesday has been consistent for me too. Washington ESD runs their payment batch Tuesday nights. Just make sure you filed your weekly claim properly and there are no issues with your job search requirements.

Sometimes it takes longer if there's a holiday weekend or if Washington ESD systems are having issues. Usually Wednesday but can be delayed

Just to follow up on the Claimyr thing I mentioned earlier - I used them when my payments got delayed and I needed to verify my claim status. Really saved me from spending days trying to get through to Washington ESD. Worth checking out if you ever run into issues.

Wednesday morning crew checking in! Mine hits at exactly 6:15 AM every week

One thing to watch out for - if your bank account information has changed recently or if there are any verification issues with your claim, the payment could be delayed. Always make sure your banking info is current in your Washington ESD account.

depends on ur bank too, some are faster than others with direct deposits

The key thing is Washington ESD processes payments in batches on Tuesday nights. Individual banks then process those deposits on their own schedules, but most complete by Wednesday morning. If you ever don't receive a payment you're expecting, check your claim status online first before calling.

been getting mine every wednesday for 6 months, never had an issue with timing

IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR PAYMENT BY THURSDAY MORNING THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG! But Wednesday is the normal day for sure.

Washington ESD payment schedule has been super reliable for me. Tuesday night processing, Wednesday morning in the bank account. Only time it was different was during that system upgrade a few months ago.

Glad everyone could help with the timing question! And remember, if you ever need to actually speak with a Washington ESD agent about payment issues or anything else, Claimyr is there to help you get through. Much better than spending your whole day trying to call.

wednesday squad! never fails

Just to summarize for anyone else reading this later - Washington ESD processes unemployment payments Tuesday nights, deposits typically show up Wednesday morning. If you don't see your payment by Thursday, that's when you should start investigating. Most banks are consistent with this timing.
