When will my Washington ESD unemployment be deposited - timing question

Usually takes 2-3 business days after your weekly claim is processed. Since you filed Sunday night, you should see it by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. Check your payment history on the Washington ESD website to make sure it actually went through.

Are you sure your direct deposit info is correct in your account? I had this happen once and realized I had the wrong routing number.

If you're having trouble getting through to Washington ESD to check on payment issues, I found this service called Claimyr that helps you actually reach someone on the phone. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ and their website is claimyr.com. Way better than sitting on hold for hours.

Washington ESD payment schedule depends on when you file and what day of the week it is. Sunday filers usually see deposits Tuesday-Thursday. Friday filers might not see it until the following week.

omg this system is so stressful!! why cant they just tell us exactly when payments come instead of making us guess

Check if your bank has any delays. Some credit unions take an extra day to process ACH deposits from government agencies.

I've been waiting 5 days for mine and starting to panic. Filed Wednesday and still nothing. Should I be worried?

Sometimes there are system glitches that delay payments. Happened to me twice last year and both times I had to call to get it sorted out.

Pro tip: if you have Key Bank they usually post Washington ESD deposits around 3am on Wednesday mornings. Other banks vary but most are Wednesday or Thursday.

Just to clarify the timeline: Washington ESD processes payments Monday-Friday. Weekend claims get processed on Monday. Then it takes 1-3 business days for your bank to post the deposit depending on their ACH processing schedule.

UPDATE: finally got through to Washington ESD using that Claimyr thing someone mentioned earlier. Turns out there was a verification flag on my account that was holding up payments. They cleared it and said I should see backpay within 24 hours.

For future reference, you can check your payment status by logging into your Washington ESD account and looking at the 'Payment Activity' section. It will show the date processed and estimated deposit date.

I always take a screenshot of my weekly claim confirmation just in case there are any issues later. Saved me once when they said I didn't file but I had proof.

UPDATE: Got my deposit this morning! Thanks everyone for the help and timeline info. Definitely filing Sunday mornings from now on to get that Wednesday deposit schedule.

Just want to add that if anyone else runs into payment delays or needs to check on claim issues, Claimyr really does work. I've used it three times now when I couldn't get through the regular way. Much less stressful than spending all day redialing.
