What time does Washington ESD unemployment deposit hit accounts?

Usually deposits from Washington ESD show up Tuesday mornings around 6-8 AM if you filed by Sunday. But it really depends on your bank - some process ACH transfers faster than others.

I've been getting mine around 3 AM on Tuesday mornings with Bank of America. If your claim shows 'paid' status on the Washington ESD website you should be good.

I had issues with late deposits for weeks and couldn't get through to Washington ESD to find out what was happening. Tried calling dozens of times but kept getting busy signals or hung up on. Finally used Claimyr.com and got connected to an agent who explained there was a banking verification issue on my account. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works.

Washington ESD processes payments overnight Monday into Tuesday. Most banks post ACH deposits between 2-6 AM. Credit unions are sometimes faster than big banks.

ugh the anxiety of waiting for unemployment to hit when bills are due is THE WORST. I've been there so many times

If you need to confirm the deposit timing, you can also check your bank's mobile app - most show pending ACH transfers even before they officially post to your account.

I get mine with BECU and it's always there by 3 AM Tuesday. Never had an issue with timing as long as I file my weekly claim before Sunday midnight.

Wells Fargo user here - mine shows up Tuesday around 5 AM usually. Sometimes earlier if it's a holiday week or something weird

Pro tip: set up mobile banking alerts for deposits over $1. That way you'll get notified the second it hits even if you're sleeping.

One time my deposit was delayed because there was some verification issue and I couldn't get Washington ESD on the phone for days. A friend told me about this calling service called Claimyr that helps you get through to agents. Worked great and they figured out the problem right away.

Just remember that if Monday is a federal holiday, deposits usually get delayed by a day. But there's no holiday this week so you should be good for Tuesday.

I hate how they make us sweat every week wondering if the money will show up on time. Like we don't have enough stress already being unemployed

Another thing - if your deposit is ever more than a day late, don't wait around. Use Claimyr or some other way to get through to Washington ESD because there's usually a specific reason that needs to be fixed.

Navy Federal Credit Union member here - deposits always hit at exactly 12:01 AM Tuesday. Military banks are super reliable with government payments.

The inconsistency between banks is so annoying. Like why can't they all just process at the same time?

US Bank user - mine typically shows up around 4:30 AM Tuesday. Pretty consistent timing week to week.

If you're really stressed about timing, some banks let you get a small advance on pending direct deposits. Not all banks offer it but might be worth asking about.

Update us tomorrow OP! Curious if it hits on time for you.

One last thing - make sure your bank info on file with Washington ESD is correct. If you changed banks recently and forgot to update it, that could cause delays.

Anyone else notice Washington ESD's website is super slow on Monday nights? Probably everyone checking their payment status like we are lol
