What day does Washington ESD unemployment pay - still waiting for deposit

That's what I thought too. My claim status just says 'paid' but no money in my account yet.

check if there's any issues on your account that need attention, sometimes they hold payments for random verification stuff

I've been trying to call but can never get through. The phone system is impossible.

I know exactly what you mean about the phone situation. I was spending hours trying to reach someone at Washington ESD until I found Claimyr. It's a service that calls for you and gets you connected to an actual agent. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works.

Never heard of that before. Does it actually work?

I always file mine on Sunday morning right when I wake up. Still get paid Wednesday usually.

Same here, Sunday filing gets me Wednesday deposits like clockwork

There can be delays due to federal holidays or system maintenance but the standard schedule is still Tuesday processing.

Tell that to my empty bank account lol

Yeah it shows paid for the right amount. This is so frustrating.

If it shows paid but you don't have the money, that's definitely a bank routing issue or account problem. You need to call Washington ESD immediately.

My account is definitely open, I use it all the time for other stuff.

Then it's probably on Washington ESD's end. You really need to get through to someone there.

This is exactly why I recommend Claimyr to everyone. Instead of wasting hours trying to get through yourself, they handle the calling and get you connected when an agent is available.

This is really helpful, thank you. So I should definitely be worried at this point.

Yeah Thursday with no payment when it shows paid is not normal at all

I haven't changed anything with my banking info. Same account I've been using for months.

Then something is definitely up. Don't wait longer to contact them.

Good point but there haven't been any holidays recently

True, just throwing it out there as something to consider for future reference

That's really concerning. How would I even find out what happened?

You'd need to contact Washington ESD directly to trace the payment. They can tell you if it was returned or if there's an issue with your account information.

I feel your pain. The hold times are ridiculous and half the time you get disconnected anyway.

Have you tried that Claimyr thing someone mentioned earlier? I'm getting desperate enough to try anything at this point.

never heard of it but might be worth looking into

I'll try that tomorrow morning. Thanks for the tip.

8am calling works sometimes but even then you might wait 2+ hours on hold

Yeah I tried the 8am thing and still couldn't get through. That's when I decided to try Claimyr and it was honestly worth it just to avoid the stress of calling myself.

I checked and it all looks right. Same routing and account numbers I've been using.

Then it's definitely something on their end that needs to be resolved with a phone call.

Oh great, that's exactly what I'm worried about. How long did it take to resolve?

Once she got through to someone it was fixed within a few days. The hard part was actually reaching a person.

Yeah I'm realizing I probably should have called sooner instead of just waiting and hoping.

Don't beat yourself up about it. The calling system is so bad that most people avoid it until they absolutely have to.
