They transferred me to a claims specialist but then I waited for another hour before getting disconnected. 😠Going to try again tomorrow morning. At least I know it's possible to get through this way, just need better luck staying connected during transfer.
I had a totally different experience with ESD last month. Filed my claim, got approved within 3 days, and have been receiving payments on time ever since. No need to call at all.

That's unfortunate for your friend, but each case is different. Meal and rest break violations are actually specifically mentioned in ESD's guidelines as potential good cause for quitting, but proper documentation is crucial. Without knowing all the details of your friend's case, it's hard to say why they were denied. They may have had success if they appealed the decision with proper documentation.
