Has anyone ever received their decision by email instead of mail? My friend said he got his by email but I haven't received anything like that and now I'm worried I missed something important!
Update: Just got my decision in the mail today! Exactly 17 days after the hearing. So relieved it came through and didn't get lost. And even better news - I WON MY APPEAL! The judge agreed that ESD's initial disqualification was incorrect. Just wanted to update everyone who responded and say thanks for helping me stay patient during the wait.
Congratulations! Make sure to keep that decision document safe. Also, be aware that ESD has the right to petition for review within 30 days, though it's relatively rare for them to do so for standard cases. If your back benefits don't appear in your account within 2 weeks, you may need to contact them for processing.
UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that the full payment hit my account this morning! It was exactly what the agent said it would be. Thanks for all your help and reassurance - you saved me a lot of anxiety!

After you win your appeal (and I hope you do), you should see a status change in your ESD account from

That's a good point about taxes - I hadn't thought about that. I'll definitely set some aside. I have direct deposit set up, so hopefully that makes things smoother.
