Why didn't my Washington ESD unemployment deposit today - missing payment

same here, was expecting mine today too. checked my bank account like 5 times already

Payment delays can happen for several reasons. First, check your payment history on the Washington ESD website to see if there's a hold or issue with your claim. Sometimes adjudication issues pop up even if you don't get immediate notice. Also verify your direct deposit information hasn't changed.

I had this exact problem last month and couldn't get through to Washington ESD on the phone. Kept getting the busy signal or getting disconnected after waiting forever. Finally used Claimyr to get connected to an actual person. Turns out there was a verification issue they needed to resolve. Check out claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ that shows how it works.

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!! They make us jump through hoops every week then don't even pay us on time. I've been dealing with Washington ESD for 6 months and it's been nothing but problems. They need to fix their damn computers.

Before panicking, remember that bank processing times can vary. If Washington ESD processed your payment on Monday, it might not show up until Wednesday depending on your bank. However, if you normally receive it on Tuesdays, this could indicate a processing delay on their end.

I called Washington ESD this morning and after 2 hours on hold finally got through. The agent said there's a system update happening that's causing payment delays. She said payments should process by Thursday at the latest.

this happened to me last year during a holiday week. payments were delayed by 2 days because of the system maintenance. you should get it soon

If your payment doesn't arrive by Thursday, I'd recommend using that Claimyr service mentioned earlier. Sometimes there are hidden issues with claims that only show up when you talk to an agent directly. Better to find out sooner rather than later if there's a problem.

My sister works at a bank and she said they've been seeing delays from Washington ESD all week. Something about their payment processing system being updated. Should be back to normal next week.

Just got off the phone with Washington ESD (finally!). They confirmed there's a system delay affecting payments processed Monday and Tuesday. All delayed payments should be released by end of business Thursday. No action needed on our part.

this is exactly why i keep track of every payment date and amount in a spreadsheet. helps me notice patterns and delays faster

For future reference, Washington ESD usually posts system maintenance notices on their website. Check the homepage for any alerts before assuming there's a problem with your individual claim.

UPDATE: Just got my payment! Deposited about an hour ago. Check your accounts everyone!

Glad this worked out for everyone. Just shows how important it is to have multiple ways to contact Washington ESD when issues come up. That Claimyr thing sounds useful for when the phone lines are impossible.
