When does ESD deposit UI payments after filing on Sunday? Payment timeline confusion

For me its always been Tuesday if i file on Sunday. I think they process everything Monday and then it hits accounts Tuesday morning. tho sometimes it can be Wednesday if there's a holiday or something. direct deposit is way faster than the debit card option fyi

The standard processing timeline for ESD weekly claims filed on Sunday is: - Sunday: Claim submitted - Monday: ESD processes the claim - Tuesday: Payment issued (typically appears in your account by late morning/early afternoon) However, this assumes your claim is in good standing with no adjudication issues or holds. First-time payments can sometimes take longer. Also, some banks hold deposits for 24 hours, so you might not see it until Wednesday depending on your bank's policies. If you're concerned about making your bills on the 5th, I'd suggest having a backup plan just in case.

Don't count on any consistent timing with ESD!! I filed every Sunday for months and sometimes money came Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday, and twice it took until THURSDAY with zero explanation. Their system is completely unreliable. One time they randomly put my claim in adjudication after 6 weeks of normal payments and I couldn't get through to anyone for 2 weeks!!!

if u file on sunday you USUALLY get paid tuesday. thats how its been for me for the past 2 months. but my roommate got his on wednesday last week so idk

I've been on UI since January, and here's what I've learned about payment timing: - Filing Sunday: Payment Tuesday (90% of the time) - Filing Monday: Payment Wednesday - Filing Tuesday: Payment Thursday Basically it's a 2-day turnaround if everything is normal with your claim. But your first payment might take longer because they sometimes do additional verification. Also, job search requirements need to be properly documented or you might see delays. Make sure you're logging your 3 job search activities correctly each week.

I've been waiting 3 weeks for my payment because they put me in adjudication for something and I can't get ANYONE on the phone. I keep calling the 8553828669 number every day and just get the "high call volume" message. Has anyone actually gotten through to a human at ESD lately?? I'm about to lose my mind!!

anybody else notice the payments come faster if u file super early on sunday??? i always do mine right at midnight saturday/sunday and my money hits by monday afternoon sometimes!

Quick update on banking specifics since a few people mentioned it: Credit unions often process UI payments faster than big banks. I switched from Chase to a local credit union and now consistently get my deposits Tuesday morning instead of Tuesday afternoon/evening. Also, the ESD weekly maintenance can occasionally delay things. They do system updates on Sunday nights sometimes, which can push processing to Tuesday and payment to Wednesday.

Thanks everyone for all the helpful responses! Sounds like I should expect payment on Tuesday in most cases, but I'll plan for Wednesday just to be safe. I'm with a credit union, so hopefully that speeds things up a bit. I'll update here with my experience once I get my first payment in case it helps someone else.

Just wanted to add my experience as someone who's been on UI for about 6 months now. The Tuesday payment after Sunday filing is pretty reliable, but here are a few things that can mess with the timing: 1. If you have any earnings to report (even $1 from odd jobs), it can delay processing by a day 2. Holiday weekends will push everything back - Memorial Day weekend had my payment come Thursday instead of Tuesday 3. If you're doing seasonal work or have any "stop/start" periods on your claim, the first payment back can take 3-4 days instead of 2 Also, pro tip: set up text alerts with your bank for deposits. That way you'll know the second it hits instead of constantly checking your account balance. The anxiety of waiting for that payment is real!

I've been getting UI payments for about 4 months now and can confirm the Tuesday timeline is pretty accurate. One thing I learned the hard way though - make sure your direct deposit info is 100% correct before your first payment! I had a typo in my account number and it took an extra week to fix and get my payment reissued. ESD doesn't catch banking errors until they try to send the money, then you have to wait for it to bounce back and update your info. Double and triple check those bank details in your online account!

New claimant here too! I just filed my first weekly claim this past Sunday and I'm in the same boat waiting to see when the payment hits. From reading all these responses, it sounds like Tuesday is the most likely day, but I'm planning for Wednesday just to be safe. One thing I noticed when setting up my claim is that ESD sends you email confirmations for pretty much everything - filing, payments processed, etc. So at least you'll get some notification when things are moving through the system. Fingers crossed we both get our payments on time! I'll try to remember to update this thread once I see my first deposit come through.

I've been claiming UI benefits for about 8 months now and wanted to share what I've observed about payment timing. The Sunday-to-Tuesday pattern is definitely the norm, but I've noticed a few other factors that can affect when you actually see the money: 1. Your bank's cut-off times matter - some banks process ACH deposits in the morning vs afternoon, so even if ESD sends it Tuesday, you might not see it until Wednesday 2. If there are any federal holidays during the week, everything gets pushed back a day 3. I've had a couple times where ESD's system had "maintenance issues" that delayed processing by 24 hours Since you mentioned your bills are due on the 5th, I'd definitely have a backup plan ready. Maybe contact your creditors ahead of time to let them know about potential timing issues? Most companies are understanding about unemployment payment delays if you communicate proactively. Good luck with your claim!
