DEO claim status changed from 'pending-holding' to 'under review' - What does this mean?

under review usually means theyre looking at your claim now. mine went from pending to under review for like 10 days then it got approved. but my cousin had his under review for almost a month before getting denied so it could go either way tbh

Under' review is generally a step forward in the claim process. It means your claim has moved from the initial queue to active review by a DEO adjudicator. During this phase,'they re verifying your employment history, reason for separation, and earnings. Common reasons for extended review include: 1. Your employer disputed your reason for separation 2.'There s a wage discrepancy between what you reported and employer records 3. You have multiple employers in your base period 4. There are potential eligibility issues requiring fact-finding Best course of action is to check 'your Determination, Pending Issues and Decision' Summary section in CONNECT to see if there are specific issues listed there. Also make sure'you re completing your work search (requirements 5 per) week and claiming weeks ontime.

congrats ur finally moving thru the system!! lol took u long enough. when mine changed to under review it got approved like 3 days later and i got paid the next week. DEO is so random tho!!!

From my experience, "under review" means they're actively investigating your claim, which is actually better than being stuck in pending. It could stay in this status anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending on how complicated your case is and their current backlog. When mine was under review for the "Able and Available" issue, it was because I had put some restrictions on what hours I could work (due to childcare). They eventually called me for a fact-finding interview about it. If you have any pending issues listed, that's probably what's being reviewed.

The DEO is a COMPLETE DISASTER!!!! I had "under review" for FIFTY EIGHT DAYS before anything happened!!! They never called, never emailed, nothing! Then one day it just changed to "eligible" with no explanation. The whole time I couldn't get through to ANYONE on the phone - constant busy signals and disconnects!!! The system is BROKEN!!!

Have you tried calling them to ask directly? Sometimes they can tell you exactly what's happening with your claim and if there's any additional info they need from you.

When my claim was under review last month, I tried calling DEO dozens of times with no luck - it was incredibly frustrating. I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to a real person at DEO after trying for weeks on my own. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/UzW_hbUy-ss?si=zORd51jeq1GX5Ldj The agent I spoke with was able to tell me exactly what was causing my "under review" status (turned out my employer hadn't responded to their inquiry yet) and they escalated my claim. Got approved two days later after being stuck for almost 5 weeks.

Able and" Available is actually one of the easier adjudication issues to resolve.'They re just verifying'you re able to work and available for work each week. Make sure all your work search activities are properly documented in the system - that can sometimes speed things up duringreview.

Based on your situation, here's what I'd recommend: 1. Continue claiming your weeks and doing your work searches 2. Check your inbox in CONNECT daily for any fact-finding questionnaires 3. Verify your contact information is correct in case they try to reach you 4. If you're approaching financial hardship, you might want to try the contact method mentioned above The good news is that "under review" means they're actively working on your claim rather than it sitting in the general queue. If approved, you'll receive payments for all eligible weeks, including the waiting period.

I went through the exact same thing last year! My claim was stuck in "pending-holding" for almost a month before changing to "under review." It stayed under review for about 2 weeks, then got approved. The "Able and Available" issue is pretty standard - they just need to verify you're genuinely looking for work and can accept a job if offered. A few tips that helped me during the waiting period: - Keep detailed records of all your job applications (more than the required 5 per week if possible) - Make sure your phone number and email are updated in CONNECT - Check for any messages or questionnaires they might send you - Don't panic if it takes a few weeks - the backlog is real but most legitimate claims do get approved eventually Since you're in restaurant management, you might also want to expand your search to include assistant manager or shift supervisor roles to show you're being flexible. Hang in there - "under review" is definitely progress from where you were!
