What day does unemployment get deposited - Washington ESD payment schedule?

Washington ESD typically processes payments on Tuesday or Wednesday if you filed your weekly claim by Sunday. The actual deposit date depends on your bank though - some banks process faster than others.

Mine always comes on Tuesday mornings around 6am. I file my claim Sunday night and it's there by Tuesday without fail. Been getting benefits for 3 months now.

If you're having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to check on your payment status, I found this service called Claimyr that helped me reach an actual agent. They have a website at claimyr.com and there's a demo video at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works. Made it so much easier than trying to call myself.

Just so you know, if there are any issues with your claim like adjudication or verification needed, your payment can be delayed even if you file on time. Washington ESD won't deposit anything until all issues are resolved.

tuesday for me too, bank of america. sometimes wednesday if theres a holiday but usually tuesday morning

Also worth noting that your first payment might take longer than usual since Washington ESD has to set up your direct deposit info. After that first one, it should be regular as clockwork.

Make sure you're filing your weekly claim by Sunday night to get the Tuesday/Wednesday deposit. If you file Monday or later, it gets pushed to the next week's cycle.

The Washington ESD website says payments are processed within 2-3 business days of filing your weekly claim. So if you file Sunday, you should see it by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.

Does anyone know if the deposit time varies by region in Washington? I'm in Spokane and wondering if that affects anything.

Been on unemployment for 8 months now and it's always Tuesday morning for me. Wells Fargo bank. Only time it was different was during Christmas week when it came Wednesday.

If you ever need to check on a payment or resolve deposit issues, Claimyr has been a lifesaver for me. Way better than trying to get through to Washington ESD on your own.

TUESDAY MORNING every single week like clockwork. I set my alarm for 6am just to check my account lol. Never been late once in 4 months.

Just remember you have to keep doing your job search requirements even after you start getting payments. Washington ESD can audit your job search log at any time.

If your bank is slow with deposits, you might want to consider switching to a credit union. They tend to process ACH transfers faster than big banks.

Also make sure your direct deposit info is correct in your Washington ESD account. A wrong account number will delay your payment for weeks while they sort it out.

One more thing about Claimyr - they're really helpful if you need to verify your direct deposit info with Washington ESD or check on payment status. Sometimes that's the only way to get answers quickly.

Tuesday morning deposit crew checking in! Been getting mine at 6:47am every Tuesday for months now. You'll get into a routine with it.
