Quick update question - have you tried calling right when they open at 8:00 AM? That used to be the best time, but in 2025 I've heard from several people that calling between 3:30-4:00 PM has a better success rate because many agents have finished their scheduled callbacks by then and can take incoming calls. Might be worth trying that specific window if you haven't already.

One other thing to consider - check if you received any fact-finding questionnaires that you might have missed. Sometimes ESD sends these with tight deadlines (often just 5 business days), and if you don't respond, they automatically disqualify you. These can come by mail, email, or appear in your eServices account. If you find you missed one, mention this specifically when you get through to an agent. They can often reopen the fact-finding if you have a reasonable explanation for missing the deadline.

Any updates? Has your status changed at all?

FINAL UPDATE: My claim was approved! Took exactly 3 weeks and 2 days from when I first applied. All weeks were paid including the waiting week (not sure why, but I'm not complaining). To anyone else in adjudication - hang in there! And definitely try to speak with an agent if you can, it seemed to speed things up in my case.

UPDATE: Called my temp agency this morning and you all were right! They said ESD contacted them last week for verification but the person who handles those requests was out sick. They're sending the verification today. Seems like such a simple thing that's been holding up my whole claim! Going to give it a few more days and then try calling ESD directly if it's still pending. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Great detective work! This is exactly why it's important to be proactive with claims involving multiple employers. Now that the temp agency is submitting the verification, your claim should move forward within 3-5 business days. Just keep filing your weekly claims in the meantime, and you'll receive all eligible back payments once approved.

Just wondering - did you check the payment details in your ESD account? Sometimes it will say "paid" but if you click into the details it might show it was sent as a paper check instead of direct deposit. This happened to me when I first signed up - I thought I had entered my direct deposit info correctly but somehow it defaulted to mailing a check. Worth double-checking!

One more thing to keep in mind - if this is your first payment ever from ESD, the first one sometimes takes a little longer than subsequent payments. My first payment took almost 4 business days to show up, but after that they were consistently 2-3 days. It's like the banking system needs to establish the connection the first time. So don't worry if this one is taking longer - future payments should be more predictable.

jst want to say sorry about ur job man. that sux when employers pull that kind of thing. happened to me 2yrs ago, boss had it out for me & waited til he had an excuse. hang in there

Quick update since there's some confusion in this thread: As of 2025, ESD has simplified their overpayment waiver process. Your pending waiver for the 2020 PUA/PEUC issue should be honored regardless of your new claim, but they are separate processes. Make sure you're answering the weekly job search questions correctly on your new claim - remember you need to document 3 job search activities each week now. This is often where people run into issues with their new claims. Also, when you describe your separation, stick to objective facts. Avoid terms like "bullying" and instead describe specific behaviors. For example, instead of "My manager was a bully," say "My manager raised his voice and criticized my work in front of colleagues on multiple occasions." This factual approach strengthens your case.
