Will unemployment checks be late this week in Washington ESD?

I certified Sunday night around 11pm. Maybe it just hasn't processed yet?

Yeah it can take 24-48 hours sometimes. Should show up by tomorrow morning.

Good idea, I'll log in and check right now. Haven't gotten any letters or notices.

Also check your SecureAccess Washington account - sometimes notices show up there first before they mail anything.

How much does that cost? I'm already strapped for cash waiting for my payment.

It's worth it when you consider how much time you save. I was literally spending 6+ hours a day trying to get through.

Is that legitimate? Sounds too good to be true tbh

Yeah it's legit, they just help you get through the phone queue faster. Still talk to real Washington ESD agents.

No I didn't work at all last week. Been unemployed since December and filing every week.

Then it should process normally. Give it until Wednesday before worrying.

Same here! They act like we don't have bills to pay.

exactly! and good luck getting anyone on the phone to explain what happened

That's actually reassuring, means it's not a big system problem at least.

Check if you need to complete any job search activities. Sometimes they hold payments if you're behind on that.

Oh good point, I'll check my job search log too.

I tried calling yesterday and today but keep getting disconnected after being on hold.

That's exactly why I used Claimyr - cuts through all that phone queue nonsense and gets you to an actual person who can check your account.

Might have to try that if my payment doesn't show up soon too

I mean for this week's certification. I filed my weekly claim Sunday for last week and usually get paid Tuesday.

Got it. Yeah Tuesday/Wednesday is normal timing so you're still in the window.

I'll double check my answers from Sunday. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah sometimes one wrong click can mess up the whole thing. Super annoying.

I feel your frustration but yelling doesn't help. The system has issues but most claims do process on time.

easy for you to say when your rent is due and your payment is MIA

This is exactly the kind of situation where Claimyr helped me - when I was stressed about a missing payment and couldn't get through normally.

Oh no that sounds terrible! How did you find out about the dispute?

They sent a letter but by the time I got it I'd already missed two weeks of payments. Check your mail!

Will do, thanks for the heads up.

Awesome! Glad it worked out. These little delays happen sometimes.

Great news! Always good to see these things resolve quickly.

lucky you... still waiting on mine from last week :

If yours is still missing from last week definitely try calling or use that Claimyr service to get through faster.

Good to know! I have direct deposit set up so that probably helped.

Yep, the KeyBank debit card can take an extra day or two sometimes.

Yeah don't panic right away, seems like normal processing delays happen pretty regularly.
