Sometimes this happens if your claim requires additional information. Check if you have any alerts or tasks on your account. Another possibility is that they're processing a change to your claim status that you're not aware of yet. When this happened to me, I received a letter in the mail two days AFTER the weekly filing option disappeared.

UPDATE: The weekly claim option is back now! Looks like it was just temporary maintenance as some of you suggested. I was able to file my claim without any issues. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

btw make sure ur still doing ur weekly claims even while waiting!!! my friend messed up and stopped filing while waiting for her issue to get fixed and then had to start a whole new claim!!!

Just to follow up on this thread - it's been about 2 weeks since you contacted the Governor's office. Have you received any response or seen any movement on your claim? The typical timeframe would be 7-14 business days for some kind of action.

The exact same thing happened to my cousin a few weeks ago. She got paid without any letter, called ESD (took forever to get through), and they told her the payment was correct but the letter generation system was backlogged. Apparently they prioritize getting people paid over sending the paperwork, which makes sense if you think about it. But they also told her to keep checking her online correspondence inbox because sometimes they only send electronic notifications now instead of paper mail.

Quick update! After reading through everyone's experiences here, my suggestion would be to wait about 5 business days to see if the letter arrives. If it doesn't, definitely contact ESD for confirmation. What's important is that you have documentation of the decision in case there are any issues later. The fact you received payment is a very positive sign, though. In my 15+ years working with unemployment systems (as a claimant and later helping others), I've rarely seen cases where payment was issued incorrectly ahead of a decision.

i had this same prob and it turned out they needed wage verification from my last employer but nobody told me until i talked to somebody

Good to hear you finally got through and discovered the issue. For identity verification, make sure you upload clear, readable copies of: 1. Government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) 2. Social Security card 3. Birth certificate (if you have it) Submit multiple forms of ID if possible, not just the minimum. This increases your chances of quick verification. Also, continue to file your weekly claims while waiting - if approved, you'll receive all back payments for properly filed weeks. After uploading documents, I recommend calling back within 5-7 business days to confirm receipt and ask if anything else is needed. Sometimes a second set of documents is required if the first submission was unclear or incomplete.

To answer your follow-up questions: 1. For the documentation of unsafe conditions - yes, that could qualify as good cause, especially if you have photos. Did you ever bring these concerns to your employer before quitting? ESD typically looks for evidence that you tried to resolve the situation first. 2. Regarding benefit year extensions - there aren't automatic extensions currently available like during COVID. The standard benefit duration is 26 weeks. However, there are a few options: - Training Benefits can extend UI if you enroll in approved training - Shared Work if your employer participates - In some cases, a new initial claim if you have wages not used in your first claim Based on your timeline, your most recent employment (Jan-Feb 2025) might not have been included in your base period calculation if you filed in March 2025. Your base period would likely be Q4 2023 through Q3 2024. This means those 2025 wages might be usable for a new claim, but you'd need to address the voluntary quit issue. I recommend applying for the new claim and being upfront about why you left. Upload your documentation during the application process.

dont forget u gotta keep doing job search stuff even when ur waiting for them to figure this out! my friend got denied cuz she stopped doing her activities while waiting for esd to fix her claim issues
