Where's the weekly claim button? Suddenly disappeared from my ESD account

check if ur on the right website. sometimes the eservices page looks different from the securewashington page. easy 2 get confused

This KEEPS happening to everyone!!! ESD's system is soooo broken. Their stupid website "updates" break something literally every month. Last time this happened to me, turns out my claim was flagged for "verification" but NOBODY BOTHERED TO TELL ME. Had to wait 3 weeks without benefits while they "investigated" whether I was still eligible. Check if you have any alerts or messages in your inbox.

This usually happens when there's an issue with your claim that needs to be resolved before you can file again. The most common reasons are: 1. You've reached the end of your benefit year (check your benefit year end date) 2. You've used all available benefits in your claim 3. There's an adjudication issue or eligibility question pending 4. You missed reporting your job search activities for previous weeks 5. You need to reopen your claim after a period of not filing You should check your claim status page for any notes about your claim status. The option to file weekly claims disappears when the system detects you're not currently eligible to file for some reason.

I spent HOURS trying to figure this out last month when it happened to me. Turns out I had answered a question wrong on my previous weekly claim (accidentally clicked YES to refusing work instead of NO) and that triggered some kind of automatic hold on my account. The button will reappear once the issue is resolved, but you need to talk to an ESD agent to find out what the specific issue is since the website is useless at telling you.

I had this exact same problem in January. The weekly claim button disappeared without any notification. After days of trying to call ESD without success, I tried using Claimyr (claimyr.com) and actually got through to an agent within 40 minutes. There's a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Turns out I had an identity verification issue that wasn't showing up anywhere on my online account. The agent was able to clear it up and my weekly claim button reappeared the next day. Definitely worth trying to speak to someone directly rather than waiting for the system to sort itself out.

random question but did u report any earnings last week? when i reported some side gig money, my claim button disappeared for like 2 days then came back. esd system gets confused when u report money lol

Based on your responses, it sounds like your claim might be temporarily in review because of the reported earnings. When you report earnings, especially if it's the first time or an irregular amount, it can sometimes trigger an automatic review. The system often puts a temporary hold on the ability to file while it assesses if your employment situation has changed. If the button doesn't reappear within 48 hours, I would definitely recommend contacting ESD directly. Make sure to have documentation of your one-day assignment (dates, hours, pay) ready when you speak with them. They might need to verify the information before allowing you to continue with weekly claims.

Just to give you some hope - my claim button came back after 3 days when this happened. Sometimes their system just glitches out. Try logging in from a different browser or clearing your cache too. ESD's website is notoriously temperamental.
