When will Washington ESD unemployment pay - my weekly claim shows processed but no payment yet

Did you ever find out why it was delayed? I'm getting really anxious about this.

Washington ESD said there was some kind of system processing issue that week. Nothing I did wrong.

Just checked and it does say pending! Thank you, that makes me feel better. Bank info looks right too.

Great! Pending usually means it'll hit your account within 24-48 hours.

Really? I've been trying to call for weeks and can never get through. How does this work exactly?

It basically calls for you and waits in the queue, then connects you when an agent picks up. Saved me hours of calling.

Is this legit? Sounds too good to be true honestly.

No holidays this week though. Maybe it's just a system thing like the other person said.

They do maintenance on Sundays sometimes which can push everything back a day or two.

Exactly! Like we're just sitting around not needing the money. So frustrating.

I get the frustration but the delays are usually just processing backlogs, not intentional.

Still doesn't make it okay when people are struggling to eat.

Good idea, I'll try that now.

Two weeks pending is definitely not normal. You should call Washington ESD about that or your claim might have an issue.

tried calling like 50 times cant get through

That's exactly why I started using Claimyr. The regular phone lines are impossible.

That's reassuring! Hopefully mine shows up tomorrow then.

I double-checked my answers and they all look right. Same as the previous weeks that went through fine.

Good. Then it's probably just a processing delay like others said.

My sister used it last month when her claim got stuck in adjudication. She said it worked great and got her connected to someone in like 20 minutes.

Wow okay that's actually pretty convincing. The regular lines are absolutely useless.

Yeah it's definitely worth checking out their demo video if you're dealing with Washington ESD issues regularly.

True, though my previous payments came through the same bank just fine. But good point.

That's good to know. I was thinking maybe 3-4 days was the cutoff for when to worry.

Nah, I've had them take up to 6 business days before and it was fine. Just system slowness.

No messages in my account and no mail either. Everything looks normal on my end.

Three months?! That's insane. How did you survive that long?

barely did. had to borrow money from family and use food banks

Adjudication delays are unfortunately common but 3 months is extreme. Most resolve within 4-6 weeks.

Awesome! Glad it worked out. These delays are nerve-wracking but usually resolve themselves.

Great news! See, just had to wait it out.

Glad it came through! Still worth bookmarking that Claimyr service for future reference though.

Good to know for next time. I was getting worried for nothing apparently.

Hope it shows up soon! The waiting is the worst part.

If it doesn't come by Monday you should definitely call Washington ESD or use one of those callback services.

Could be. Unemployment claims have been up with all the layoffs happening lately.

Great advice. I was probably going to call Monday if it hadn't shown up by then.

And if you can't get through their regular lines, definitely check out Claimyr. Makes the whole process so much easier.

No problem! Glad it helped. These delays seem pretty common so hopefully others find this useful too.
