When is unemployment paid out by Washington ESD each week?

Thanks! I did file on Sunday around 6pm so hopefully it went through on time.

Yeah Wednesday is usually when I see mine hit my account too

I have Bank of America so hopefully they're quick about posting it.

BOA is usually pretty fast with government deposits in my experience

I found this service called Claimyr that actually got me through to an Washington ESD agent last month. You can check it out at claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ showing how it works. Way better than sitting on hold for hours.

Interesting, I'll check that out. I'm so tired of getting disconnected after waiting forever.

Does that actually work? Sounds too good to be true honestly

Good to know about the deadline! I was wondering what happens if you're late filing.

Wait so if I file Monday morning that's too late? That seems harsh

You can still file Monday but it won't be processed until the following week's batch. The system is pretty strict about the Sunday cutoff.

How do I check that? Is it in the main account dashboard?

Log into your SecureAccess Washington account and look under payment preferences or direct deposit settings

Same here, like clockwork every Wednesday

That's reassuring, thanks for sharing your experience

If your claim is in adjudication, payments are held until the issue is resolved. Once approved, you'll get backpay for all the weeks you were eligible, usually within 1-2 payment cycles.

Thanks, mine's been in adjudication for 2 weeks now so I'm getting worried

Adjudication can take forever unfortunately. I waited 6 weeks last year

Really? That's amazing. I'm definitely going to try it then.

How much does it cost though? Is it worth the money?

For me it was totally worth it to avoid the phone tree nightmare. Check out their demo video to see if it makes sense for your situation.

Good to know what the red flag timing is. Hopefully I won't need that info!

Yeah if it's not there by Thursday definitely call or use one of those services to get through

Yes, holidays can shift the schedule. Washington ESD usually posts notices about holiday processing delays on their website.

I remember last Memorial Day my payment was delayed by a day because of the holiday

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the calendar then

Oh interesting, so it might actually be there earlier than I expect

Yeah some banks are faster than others with the overnight processing

That's a good point, I'll check both Tuesday night and Wednesday morning just in case

Some banks also have different posting times for different types of deposits

That's really reassuring to hear from someone with experience. Thanks!

Same experience here, very predictable schedule

The hardest part is getting approved, after that it's smooth sailing

Good to know, hopefully I won't run into any complications like that

Yeah any changes can cause delays while they verify the new information

Seems like a lot of people have had success with that service. I'll bookmark it just in case.

The peace of mind of being able to actually reach someone is worth it

Thanks for the reminder! I should set up email notifications so I know when it's coming.

The online account dashboard shows payment history too which is helpful for tracking

Yeah the payment history section is really useful for keeping records
