Update on my situation - I finally got approved after using Claimyr to reach an agent. Turns out my claim was stuck because I had worked in two different states since my last claim period. The agent was able to manually push it through once I explained my situation. If you're still stuck after another week, I'd seriously consider trying to get through to an actual person.

Since you mentioned your claim ended in December and reopened in June, make sure you understand that this is still considered part of your benefit year if it's within 52 weeks of your initial claim. This means your weekly benefit amount would typically be the same as before, but your total available benefits would be reduced by what you already received. If it's past your benefit year, you'd be filing a new claim entirely, which might explain the additional processing time.

Anyone know if the workplace injury affects the weekly benefit amount? I received less on UI than I did on L&I when I went through this last spring.

I went through something similar after my own work injury in 2024. Here's what I learned: 1. The "ineligible" status is temporary during their review process 2. Keep filing weekly claims exactly as instructed - you'll get backpay if approved 3. Make sure you're clearly indicating you're able and available for work within your medical restrictions 4. Document ALL job search activities meticulously (even beyond the required 3 per week) 5. If your claim shows "adjudication" that means they're reviewing specific issues In my case, after about 4 weeks of showing "ineligible" while I kept filing weekly claims, the status changed and I received payment for all weeks. The ESD system isn't always intuitive but follow their instructions precisely and you should be okay.

have u tried checking ur correspondence folder in esd? sometimes they send questions there that u need 2 answer before they finish adjudication but they don't email u about it

One final tip since you mentioned you're continuing to file weekly claims during adjudication (which is correct): Make absolutely sure you're answering the weekly claim questions accurately. Pay special attention to: 1. The question about being able and available for work (answer yes if you're able to accept work) 2. The work search activities (document all 3 required activities each week) 3. Any earnings questions (report accurately even if zero) Inconsistent answers during this period can trigger additional reviews and extend the adjudication process. If you uploaded your contract showing the end date as suggested above, and you're filing consistent weekly claims, you're doing everything right. The system is unfortunately slow, but you should see movement within the next 1-2 weeks based on current processing times.

u should also check ur spam folder and make sure ur contact info is updated in both the ESD system AND the OAH system. they dont sync automatically. I missed a hearing cuz my address was wrong in OAH but right in ESD. total mess.

someone told me once that if both you AND your employer miss the hearing, they're supposed to automatically reschedule instead of just deciding against you. did your letter say they ruled against you or just that you both missed it? might be worth mentioning that when you call

i been on unemployment since december and never had adjudication so i gues im lucky? every claim iv'e done just gets aproved automatically maybe bcause i worked at the same company for 7 years?

I just wanted to thank you for posting this. I called the Governor's office this morning after reading your post (I'm on week 5 of adjudication), and they were super helpful. The person I spoke with took all my info and submitted an expedite request for me. She also explained that my specific issue was related to wage verification because I had worked in both Washington and Oregon during my base year. I've been so stressed about this, and it's the first time I've felt like I've made any progress. I'll update when I hear something. Thanks again!
