What time does Washington ESD unemployment deposit hit my account?

For most banks, Washington ESD deposits hit between 12:01 AM and 6 AM on Tuesday if you filed by Sunday midnight. Chase usually processes ACH deposits around 3-4 AM. If it's not there by 6 AM Tuesday, check your claim status on the ESD website to make sure there wasn't an issue with your weekly certification.

I've been getting mine around 2-3 AM every Tuesday for months. Bank of America here. If yours isn't there by noon something might be wrong.

This happened to me last month and I spent HOURS trying to get through to Washington ESD customer service. Their phone system is absolutely horrible - kept getting disconnected after waiting 45 minutes. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me through to an agent in like 10 minutes. They have a demo video at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works. Turned out there was a glitch with my direct deposit info that needed to be fixed.

Tuesday deposits are the norm but I've had them come as late as Wednesday morning if there was a bank holiday or system maintenance. Don't panic yet.

Chase user here too. My deposits have been inconsistent lately - sometimes 2AM, sometimes 6AM, once it was almost 10AM. I think they're having processing delays.

Washington ESD processes payments overnight Monday into Tuesday. If your claim status says 'paid' then the money was sent to your bank. The delay is on the bank side, not ESD.

ugh this system is so stressful when you're depending on that money for rent and groceries

Pro tip: most banks show pending deposits if you log into online banking even before they officially clear. Check your pending transactions.

I switched to KeyBank after having constant delays with Chase. Now my deposits hit at exactly 2:15 AM every Tuesday like clockwork.

Check if there's maintenance on Washington ESD's payment system. They sometimes post notices about delays on their website.

Mine was 4 hours late last week with no explanation. Showed up around 7 AM instead of the usual 3 AM. Just bank processing delays.

If you really need to talk to someone at Washington ESD about payment issues, I had luck with that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier. Way better than trying to call directly.

Tuesday deposits but timing varies by bank. Credit unions are usually fastest, big banks like Chase can be unpredictable.

Don't stress too much. I've never had a Washington ESD payment actually get lost, just delayed sometimes. If the website says paid, you'll get it.

UPDATE: Mine just hit at 3:47 PM today. Chase bank too. Seems like they're running really late today for some reason.

Glad it worked out! This thread will probably help other people who panic when their deposit is late like we all do lol

Same thing happened to me last month with Chase! I was freaking out because rent was due the next day. Turns out Chase had some kind of system maintenance that delayed all ACH deposits by about 6-8 hours. The money showed up around 4 PM instead of the usual early morning. Now I always check their service status page when my unemployment deposit is late. Really glad yours came through too - the stress is unreal when you're counting on that money!

This whole thread is so relatable! I've been on Washington ESD unemployment for about 8 months now and Chase has been my bank the whole time. The deposit timing is honestly all over the place - sometimes it's there when I wake up at 6 AM on Tuesday, other times it doesn't show up until late afternoon like what happened to you today. I've noticed it seems to correlate with how busy their system is or if there's any kind of maintenance happening. The worst part is that anxiety you get when you're budgeting down to the dollar and suddenly your expected deposit isn't there. I've learned to always have a small buffer if possible and not schedule any automatic payments for Tuesday morning just in case. Really glad everything worked out for you - this community is great for sharing these kinds of experiences!
