What time does unemployment get deposited Washington ESD direct deposit timing

Usually shows up in my account between 2-4am on Tuesday mornings. What bank do you have? Some are slower than others with processing Washington ESD deposits.

Washington ESD typically releases payments around midnight on Tuesday but banks process them at different times. Credit unions are usually faster than big banks. If your claim shows paid in your account, the money is coming.

I had issues with delayed deposits last month and couldn't get through to Washington ESD on the phone. The wait times were ridiculous - spent 3 hours on hold just to get hung up on. Finally used this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that actually got me through to an agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video demo showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ. Turned out my direct deposit info had somehow gotten corrupted and needed to be re-entered.

check your bank account again around 3am wednesday morning. thats when mine usually hits. washington esd is slow with everything

This is exactly why I hate direct deposit for unemployment. At least with the debit card you knew when the money was there. Now it's this guessing game every week about when your bank will actually process the Washington ESD payment.

My credit union gets Washington ESD deposits around 6am Tuesday. Big banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America seem to take longer. Maybe switch to a credit union if you can?

Had the same panic last week! Turns out my bank (US Bank) doesn't process Washington ESD deposits until Wednesday morning even though other direct deposits come Tuesday. Called the bank and they said it depends on when the originating bank releases the ACH transfer.

Washington ESD website says payments are issued within 2-3 business days of filing your weekly claim. So technically they have until Thursday to get it to you. But most people get it Tuesday or Wednesday.

Anyone else notice Washington ESD deposits coming later since they updated their system last year? Mine used to be like clockwork Tuesday at 3am, now it's all over the place.

If you're really concerned about your deposit timing, you can always call Washington ESD to verify your direct deposit info is correct. Though good luck getting through - I tried calling 47 times yesterday and never got past the busy signal.

Pro tip: if your deposit is more than 24 hours late, log into your Washington ESD account and check if there are any alerts or issues with your claim. Sometimes there's a flag that stops payment but they don't notify you.

I work at a bank (not gonna say which one) and I can tell you that unemployment deposits are processed in batches. Washington ESD sends them out but each bank has different processing times. Some do it immediately, others wait until their next scheduled ACH processing window.

Update us when you get your deposit! I'm curious to see if Chase is consistently slow with Washington ESD payments or if this was just a one-time thing.

This whole thread is making me anxious about my own deposit now! I filed Sunday night too and still nothing in my account. At least I know I'm not alone.

Washington ESD really needs to give better information about deposit timing. Their website just says 'within 2-3 business days' which is way too vague when people are depending on this money.

Just want to add that if your deposit is significantly delayed (like more than a week), there might be an issue with your claim that needs to be resolved. I had to use that Claimyr service someone mentioned earlier to get through to Washington ESD when my deposits stopped coming completely.

My unemployment deposits from Washington ESD always come at 2:47 AM on Tuesday. I know because I'm usually up feeding my baby at that time and I check my phone. Bank of America if anyone's curious.

Hope your deposit comes through soon! The waiting is the worst part, especially when you have bills due. Keep us posted on what happens.

For what it's worth, I switched from a big bank to a local credit union specifically because of slow unemployment deposits. Now I get my Washington ESD payments Tuesday morning like clockwork.
