Is it back up for anyone yet? Still down for me at 11:45am. Getting really worried because I have that interview tomorrow and need to check if they approved my standby status so I know what to tell the employer about availability.

UPDATE: The site appears to be functioning again as of 12:15pm. If you're still having trouble, try clearing your browser cache completely or using incognito/private browsing mode. For anyone with weekly claims due today, remember to capture screenshots of your confirmation page after submitting. With system issues like this, it's always good to have proof of timely filing in case there are any questions later.

One more tip - while those status changes are typically positive signs, it's also a good time to check your correspondence in eServices. Sometimes they'll request additional information while the status is changing, and those notices can be easy to miss. Make sure you're checking both your dashboard AND your correspondence/letters section daily.

update us when you get approved!! sending good vibes

did u try calling the offshore call center?? its different than the main number and sometimes u can actually get someone there. they cant fix everything but they can at least see whats happening with ur claim. i think the number was like 833-something

UPDATE: For anyone facing this specific situation (claim moving from adjudication to pending), I just spoke with an ESD supervisor who explained the current process. As of 2025, they've changed their workflow so that claims are marked as "pending" during final review after adjudication. The average wait time after this status change is 7-10 business days for a decision to be issued. The supervisor specifically said NOT to call repeatedly during this pending period as it doesn't speed up the process and just overloads their phone system. Instead, watch your Notices/Letters section in eServices for the determination letter. What will help: Make sure you continue filing weekly claims during this period so that once approved, payment can be issued immediately for all eligible weeks.

Does anyone know if partial UI counts for the 3 job search requirements? I've been doing them just to be safe but my manager said I might be exempt since I'm still employed technically?

I went through this exact nightmare back in October 2024. My partial UI claim was stuck in processing for almost 7 weeks. I called ESD probably 30+ times and either couldn't get through or was told "just keep waiting, it's normal." What finally worked was sending a secure message through the eServices portal specifically asking if there were any issues with my claim that weren't visible to me. Turns out they needed additional verification of my reduced hours even though my employer had already responded to them! Definitely keep filing those weekly claims. When mine finally got approved, I received all the back payments at once, which was a huge relief. The system really is broken though - they should at least tell us what's causing the delay!

This exact thing happened to me but with 2 accounts. The issue is that when they updated their systems a few years ago, some accounts got duplicated. The agent told me they see this A LOT. Whatever you do, don't create another account - it'll just flag you in their system and complicate things even more.

For anyone dealing with multiple ESD accounts, here's the official process: 1. Contact Technical Support at 855-682-0785 2. They'll need to verify your identity with SSN, DOB, and address 3. Explain you have multiple SAW accounts linked to ESD 4. They'll research which account has your claim history 5. They can then either recover your password for that account OR merge your accounts If you've changed emails/phone numbers since your last claim, they can update that info too. Just be prepared to go through identity verification.
