Unemployment claim stuck in limbo - adjudication closed but still pending after 2 weeks. Help!

Hey everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle with my unemployment claim. I applied two weeks ago and it's still pending. I called and they told me the adjudication is closed, but I have no idea what that means for my claim status. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm trying to figure out what's going on and what I need to do next. Any advice would be really appreciated!

Ugh, the unemployment system is such a mess rn. I've been dealing with similar issues for over a month now. Have you tried calling again and asking for a supervisor? Sometimes they have more info.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't tried asking for a supervisor yet. Did that work for you?

It helped a little. The supervisor couldn't fix everything, but they gave me more details about my claim. Worth a shot!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/Rdqa1gKtxuE

Sounds sketchy. Is this legit? Has anyone else tried it?

Yeah, it's totally legit. I was skeptical at first too, but it saved me hours of hold time. Worth every penny imo.

When they say the adjudication is closed, it usually means they've made a decision on your claim. You need to find out what that decision was and if there's any appeal process. Here's what I'd recommend: ā€¢ Call again and ask specifically about the adjudication decision ā€¢ Request a detailed explanation in writing ā€¢ Ask if there are any next steps or appeals you can file ā€¢ Check your online account for any updates or messages ā€¢ If you can't get through, try contacting your local state representative. They sometimes have connections to help Don't give up! The system is frustrating, but persistence usually pays off.

This is solid advice. I'd add: document EVERYTHING. Every call, every person you talk to. It might come in handy later.

I'm in the same boat, applied 3 weeks ago and still nothing. This whole system is a joke. Good luck, OP!

Pro tip: call right when they open. I got through after only 20 minutes on hold last week. Also, be super nice to the person who answers. They deal with angry people all day and might be more helpful if you're friendly.

This! šŸ‘† Being nice goes a long way. These ppl are just doing their jobs.
