Just wanted to follow up - did you get your issue resolved? For anyone else experiencing this issue in the future, there's actually a formal process for these $0.00 payment errors. You need to: 1) Contact ESD and specifically request a "payment recalculation review" 2) Have them check if there's a "wage validation exception" or a "payment processing exception" 3) Ask them to verify your monetary eligibility hasn't changed In about 80% of cases, this is a simple system error that can be fixed within 48 hours once properly identified. The other 20% involve some type of eligibility question that needs to be resolved.

That's such great news that you got it resolved! I'm dealing with a similar issue right now - my payment also shows $0.00 and I've been stressed about it all week. I'll definitely try using Claimyr to get through to ESD since calling normally seems impossible. Did they give you any timeline for when the reprocessed payment would hit your bank account? Also wondering if this address change glitch is happening to other people - I updated my mailing address about two weeks ago and now I'm wondering if that's what triggered my payment issue too.

The bottom line is yes, you can get both, but be prepared for the bureaucracy. Keep good records and be patient with the process.

I'm also collecting Social Security and was recently laid off from my part-time job. Reading through this thread has been incredibly helpful - I didn't realize you could receive both benefits simultaneously. One thing I'd add is to make sure you have all your employment documentation ready when you apply, including your separation notice and pay stubs. Washington ESD seems to move faster when you have everything they need upfront. Also, don't let the online application intimidate you - it's actually pretty straightforward once you get started.

One more thing - if you ever need to reach Washington ESD urgently about payment issues, calling right at 8am when they open gives you the best chance. Or use Claimyr if you can't get through the regular way.

I've been dealing with Washington ESD payments for about a year now and here's what I've learned: they batch process payments Tuesday nights, usually between 11pm-2am. Most banks will post the deposit Wednesday morning between 2-6am, but some take until Thursday. The key thing is checking your payment status on the ESD website first - if it shows "paid" then it's just your bank's processing time. If it shows anything else, that's when you need to call them. Don't stress too much if it's only been a day or two, the timing really is that variable between different banks.

Bottom line - file your claim and be honest about all income sources. SSDI won't reduce your unemployment benefits, but hiding it could cause problems later. Washington ESD can access federal databases anyway, so there's no point in not reporting it.

I went through this exact situation about 6 months ago. The most important thing is to be completely transparent when you file - I listed my SSDI payments in the "other income" section and included a brief note explaining that I had been working part-time despite receiving disability benefits. Washington ESD didn't reduce my weekly benefit amount at all, and my claim was approved in about 10 days. The key is demonstrating that you're still able and available for work within your limitations. Since you were already working 30 hours a week, you have solid proof of your work capacity. Just make sure you're prepared to explain how your disability doesn't prevent you from seeking and accepting suitable employment.

Final answer: No delay for Memorial Day payments from Washington ESD. You can count on your regular payment schedule.

I can add some perspective as someone who's been through several holiday cycles with Washington ESD. Memorial Day definitely won't delay your payment - the system runs independently of federal holidays. The only times I've seen any delays were during major system upgrades (which they announce in advance) or on the rare occasions when there are banking processing issues around Christmas/New Year's. Your Tuesday payment should hit your account right on schedule, so you can budget accordingly. One tip: if you ever have concerns about a payment, keep your confirmation number from your weekly claim filing - it helps if you need to follow up later.
