I went through something similar last year! Had to reschedule my WorkSource appointment due to a family emergency and panicked when I saw the adjudication status. But honestly, if you rescheduled properly and completed it within your deadline (which you did), you should be fine. The adjudication is just their way of double-checking that everything was done correctly. In my case, it took about 12 days to resolve and I got all my back payments at once. The most important thing is to keep filing your weekly claims even while it's pending - don't skip any weeks or you could lose those payments entirely. Also, make sure you're continuing to do your job search activities and documenting them properly. Sometimes when they're already reviewing your case, they'll look at everything with a fine-tooth comb. Stay consistent and you should be good!

Don't panic too much about this! I had a nearly identical situation happen to me about 6 months ago. I got sick with COVID and had to reschedule my WorkSource appointment from the original date to about a week later (still well within my deadline). Even though I did everything by the book, my claim went into adjudication status for about 2 weeks. The thing that helped me was being super organized with my documentation. I kept records of when I called to reschedule, saved screenshots of my completion certificate upload, and made sure to note the exact dates of everything. When the adjudication finally cleared, I got all my pending payments in one lump sum. The key is to NOT stop filing your weekly claims during this time - that was emphasized to me by multiple people and I'm glad I listened. Also, if you have any email confirmations from WorkSource about your rescheduled appointment, keep those handy just in case. Given that you rescheduled in advance due to illness and completed everything before your deadline, this really should resolve in your favor. It's just their system being overly cautious. Hang in there!

This thread has been incredibly informative! I'm a newcomer to unemployment benefits and seeing "Processing-IVR" on my claim this morning sent me into a panic. Reading through everyone's experiences here really helps clarify that it's just a technical status indicating phone system interaction, not something to immediately worry about. Sofia, thank you so much for updating with your resolution - it's such a relief to see a success story! The fact that your real issue was a hidden employer response problem that wasn't visible in your account is really important for others to know. Connor's troubleshooting checklist is also fantastic - I'm going to work through all those steps. It's amazing how this community comes together to help each other navigate such a confusing system. Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge and experiences!

I'm new to unemployment benefits and just saw "Processing-IVR" appear on my claim today after I called to verify my identity yesterday. This thread is so helpful - I was getting really worried about what it meant! Reading everyone's experiences here, especially Sofia's success story, gives me hope that this is just a normal part of the process when you interact with ESD by phone instead of online. It's reassuring to know that the status itself isn't the problem, but I'll definitely keep Connor's checklist in mind and be proactive about calling if my payments don't come through in a reasonable timeframe. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experiences - this community is invaluable for navigating such a confusing system!

I went through something very similar last year and want to share what worked for me. The Data Correction Request form that Dylan mentioned is a game-changer - it didn't exist when I was dealing with my issue and I had to go through the full appeal process which took months. One tip I wish I'd known: when you upload your paystubs to the Data Correction form, make sure the file names are descriptive like "2024-Q1-Paystubs-CosmicCaptain.pdf" rather than generic names. The ESD processors apparently have an easier time matching documents to the right quarters this way. Also, if you have any timesheets or clock-in records from your employer (even informal ones like emails mentioning your schedule), include those too. The more documentation you have showing your actual hours worked, the stronger your case. The system is definitely broken and puts way too much burden on us to fix employer mistakes, but don't let that discourage you. With all the advice in this thread, you've got a solid plan. Keep us posted on how the new form works out!

Just wanted to add one more resource that might help - if you're having trouble getting through to ESD by phone, try calling the "Employer Services" line instead of the claimant line. Sometimes they can transfer you directly to someone who handles wage record issues, and their wait times are often shorter. The number is different from the main UI line and you can find it on the ESD website under "Employer Resources." Also, when you do get through to someone (whether through the callback service or regular calling), have your Social Security number, claim confirmation number, and the specific quarters with missing hours ready. The agents can sometimes fix simple data entry errors on the spot if they can see exactly what needs to be corrected. Your plan sounds solid - hitting it from multiple angles (appeal + data correction form + continued weekly filing) is definitely the right approach. The squeaky wheel gets the grease with ESD, so don't feel bad about being persistent!

Final thought - make sure you keep copies of everything you submit and document all your job search activities from day one. Washington ESD can ask for this information at any time and it's much easier to provide if you've been tracking it all along. Good luck with your claim!

I'm in a similar situation - filed my claim about 10 days ago and anxiously checking my account every day. Reading through everyone's experiences here is really helpful. It sounds like 2-3 weeks is pretty standard for straightforward layoffs, which is what my situation was. I'm definitely going to set up those text alerts someone mentioned and make sure I'm staying on top of my weekly claims and job search documentation. Thanks everyone for sharing your timelines and tips!

I went through almost this exact same situation about 4 months ago! Got terminated after 58 days at a consulting firm during probation - they just said I "wasn't the right cultural fit" but never provided any specific performance feedback or warnings during my entire time there. I was really stressed about applying because I thought being in probation might automatically disqualify me, but I got approved after about 4.5 weeks of adjudication. The key things that worked in my favor were: no documented performance issues, no policy violations, and no misconduct of any kind. During the adjudication phone interview, they asked very detailed questions about whether I had received any formal feedback, warnings, or disciplinary actions - being able to clearly say "no" to all of that really seemed to help my case. Your situation sounds even stronger since your separation letter specifically says "no misconduct mentioned" - that's exactly the kind of language that helps establish it was a discharge for non-misconduct reasons. Definitely apply ASAP and don't let the probation period discourage you. Washington state law really does focus on whether there was misconduct, not how long you worked. One practical tip: start documenting your job search activities right away even before you're approved, because you'll need 3 per week once benefits start and it's easy to forget to track them properly. Good luck - based on everything you've described, you should have a solid case!

I just wanted to add another success story to give you even more confidence! I was terminated after 41 days during probation from a retail management position last December - they said it was due to "different management styles" but never gave me any coaching, feedback, or documented performance issues. I was really nervous about the probation period affecting my claim, but I was approved after exactly 3 weeks of adjudication. What really helped during my adjudication interview was being able to clearly explain that the termination was based on subjective fit issues rather than any concrete performance failures or misconduct. The adjudicator asked if I had violated any company policies, missed work without permission, or received any disciplinary actions - when I could honestly answer no to all of those questions, it seemed to make the decision pretty straightforward. Your case sounds even stronger because you have that separation letter explicitly stating no misconduct was involved. That's going to be really helpful documentation during the adjudication process. Also, having 3 years of work history at your previous job definitely helps with base year earnings, so you should be in good shape there too. I know the waiting period feels stressful (especially with bills), but try to stay positive - based on everything you've shared, you have all the right factors for approval. Just make sure to apply today and start those job search activities right away. You've got this!
