5 weekly claims all stuck in 'Pending' with same adjudication date - no ESD communication

Yep happened to me in January. Adjudication with no explanation. Turned out they were verifying my previous employer's info but never told me. Keep filing your weekly claims for sure!

This is unfortunately common with ESD. The adjudication could be for various reasons - identity verification, employer dispute, wages verification, job separation issues, etc. The most important things to do are: 1. Absolutely continue filing your weekly claims on time 2. Check your ESD account inbox AND your physical mail daily 3. Call ESD directly to find out what the adjudication issue is The adjudication process generally takes 3-6 weeks, but without knowing what they're investigating, it's hard to give you a specific timeline. Try calling early in the morning when their lines first open for the best chance of getting through.

Call them RIGHT AWAY!!! My claim was stuck in adjudication for 2 months bc they needed ONE PIECE of info from me but never actually notified me about it!!! By the time I got through to them, i coulda had benefits weeks earlier if i'd just known what they wanted!! the system is BROKEN!

i had same thing happen 2 me back in march. kept filing claims every week and then one day bam! got paid for all of them at once. was like $4700 dropped in my account lol. no explanation nothing just money appeared

After fighting with ESD's phone system for weeks about my adjudication issue (similar to yours), I finally used a service called Claimyr that got me through to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes. They have a system that basically waits on hold for you then calls you when an agent is available. Saved me days of frustration. You can see how it works at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 and their site is claimyr.com. It was absolutely worth it to find out my adjudication was just waiting on a simple wage verification that I could have provided weeks earlier if I'd known!

theres probably a question they need you to answer but the system glitched and didnt tell you. happened to my cousin. he went to worksource in person and they helped him figure it out

Based on my experience working with unemployment cases, here's what's likely happening: When all claims show the same adjudication date, it typically means there's a single issue affecting your entire claim, not individual weekly certifications. Common causes include: 1. Identity verification issues (especially if this is your first claim) 2. Employer contesting your eligibility or separation reason 3. Wage verification discrepancies 4. Potential availability or job search compliance review It's critical that you: 1. Continue filing weekly claims on time 2. Document all job search activities meticulously (3 per week) 3. Reach ESD to determine the specific adjudication reason If your claims are eventually approved, you'll receive all back payments at once. If you find out what's causing the hold and address it promptly, the process will resolve much faster.

wait i just realized something. check ur spam folder in email!! i had a friend who missed ESD emails cuz they went to spam and they sent him important stuff about adjudication!!

Quick update suggestion: Once you do speak with ESD and resolve this, please come back and let us know what the issue was. It helps others in similar situations, and the community benefits from knowing how these situations get resolved!
