Why hasn't my Washington ESD unemployment been deposited this week - payment delays?

same here! filed sunday night and usually have money by tuesday but nothing yet. called my bank and they said no pending deposits either

Check your payment history on the Washington ESD website to see if there's any hold or issue noted there. Sometimes claims get flagged for review even after showing 'paid' status initially.

I've been dealing with Washington ESD payment delays for months. When I finally got through to someone using Claimyr (claimyr.com), they told me there was a verification issue that wasn't showing up online. The rep was able to fix it right away. There's even a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ showing how it works.

this happens to me all the time!! washington esd is a JOKE. they say paid but then takes forever to actually send the money. meanwhile bills dont wait

New Year's week often causes banking delays. Many financial institutions have modified processing schedules this time of year. Your payment might post tomorrow instead of today.

Check if you have any issues in your Washington ESD inbox or alerts section. Sometimes they send messages about payment delays that are easy to miss.

This exact thing happened to my sister last month. Her payment was delayed 3 days because of some backend processing issue at Washington ESD. She eventually got all her money but it was nerve wracking waiting.

Try logging out and back into your Washington ESD account to refresh the payment status. Sometimes the website glitches and doesn't show the most current information.

I had this same issue and ended up using Claimyr to get through to Washington ESD quickly. The agent explained that sometimes payments get stuck in a queue and need to be manually released. Took 5 minutes to fix once I actually talked to someone.

banks are weird this week because of the holiday. my direct deposit from work was delayed too. probably nothing to worry about if washington esd shows it as paid

Double check that your bank account information on file with Washington ESD is correct. Sometimes payments get rejected if there's a mismatch in account numbers or routing info.

THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO ME! filed sunday and washington esd shows paid but no money in my account yet. this is so stressful when you're counting on that money

When in doubt, call Washington ESD directly. I know the wait times are brutal but sometimes that's the only way to get real answers about payment delays.

update us when you get your payment! curious to see if this is affecting more people than just the few who posted here

This happens to me like once every few months. Usually resolves itself within 24-48 hours. The timing with New Year's week probably isn't helping.

I'm experiencing the exact same issue! Filed my weekly claim on Sunday and Washington ESD shows "paid" status, but my bank account is still empty as of Friday morning. This is really concerning since I've never had a delay this long before. Has anyone who posted earlier received their payment yet? I'm wondering if this is a system-wide issue affecting multiple claimants this week.
