UPDATE: I finally got through to ESD after trying that Claimyr service someone suggested above (it actually worked!). The agent confirmed I had an identity verification issue that was preventing my 1099-G from generating. They processed my recently uploaded documents while I was on the phone and said my 1099-G should be available in eServices within 3-5 business days. For anyone else with this problem, definitely check your notices section for any outstanding issues!

Thanks for the update! I'm going to check my notices section right now and probably try that service too. My tax appointment is next week and I NEED this form!

i had a similar thing happen but they actually called me the NEXT day at like 7:30am! nearly missed it cause i wasnt expecting a call that early. maybe they'll surprise you tomorrow morning?

Just a quick update check - did ESD ever call you back? If not, I would definitely recommend calling them again. When claims are in adjudication for 5+ weeks, it sometimes means there's a documentation issue they need from you that might not be clearly marked in your online portal. Make sure to specifically ask if there are any documents or information they're waiting for from you. Sometimes the system doesn't properly notify claimants about pending document requests.

my sister got fired for "poor performance" too but she got approved for benefits. they told her it was because the company couldn't prove it was actually her fault or something. she picked up a part time job while waiting for approval and it didn't mess up her claim at all. she still got the full 26 weeks but it took longer to use them all up because some weeks she only got partial payment. its a good way to keep money coming in during the waiting period for sure!!

I mean cmon this is ridiculous right? "Adjudication" is just a fancy word for "we're going to make you wait forever". I've been through this whole thing twice now. My advice - ALWAYS work whatever job you can get while waiting. Report it properly. The system is designed to keep money from people. They WANT you to give up. Don't do it! Fight for every penny you deserve. The whole system is designed to frustrate people into giving up.

Have you checked with your local WorkSource office? Sometimes they have free legal clinics or can refer you to pro bono attorneys who help with unemployment cases. Also, make sure to request all your claim records through a Privacy Act request before your hearing so you know exactly what your employer said about your separation.

One more thing - when you have your hearing, the judge will ask both you and your former employer questions. Let your employer speak first and take notes on what they say. Often they'll contradict themselves or admit to things that actually help your case. Stay calm and stick to facts even if they say things that aren't true. The judge cares about documentation more than emotional arguments.

my cusin works at the unemployment office and she says lots of people have truble with the website so dont feel bad!! but she says the fax number is (800) 301-1796 if u want to fax ur stuff instead of uploading it. the library can help with faxing if u dont have a fax machine

I understand your technology concerns! If you do end up trying to upload, here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Log into your eServices account 2. Click on "Upload a Document" under the Quick Links section 3. Select document type from the dropdown menu 4. Click "Browse" to find the file on your computer 5. Click "Upload" A helpful tip: The Tacoma Public Library offers free scanning services if you need to convert paper documents to digital files. They can help walk you through the process too. But the WorkSource center others mentioned is probably your best option for in-person assistance with the whole process.
