Called Governor's office about stuck ESD claim - what happens after referral?

i did this exact thing last yr when my claim got stuck for 2 months. they send ur info to some special team at ESD that handles these referrals. took about 10 days but someone finally called me and fixed everything right there on the phone! definitely better than waiting forever!!

The Governor's office referral process can be effective for cases that have fallen through the cracks. Once they submit your information, it typically goes to what's called the Executive Review Team at ESD. They prioritize these cases because they've been escalated through the Governor's office. In my experience helping claimants, you should receive some form of contact within 7-14 business days, though it varies with their current workload. Make sure your contact information in your ESD account is up-to-date so they can reach you.

While waiting for the referral, have you tried using Claimyr to get through to an actual ESD agent? It saved me so much time when my claim was stuck in adjudication. The service connects you with an ESD agent without having to wait on hold forever. Check out their site claimyr.com - they have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 showing how it works. I was skeptical at first but it actually worked and got my issue resolved in one call.

The Governor's office referral process is actually quite effective. When they submit a referral, it creates a ticket in ESD's escalation system that's flagged as a Governor's inquiry, which gets prioritized. Here's what typically happens: 1. The referral is assigned to a specialized team (often within 48-72 hours) 2. They'll review your claim file and identify any issues 3. They'll either call you directly or make the necessary adjustments to your claim 4. If they need additional information, they'll contact you via phone or eServices message Most people see movement within 5-10 business days after a Governor's referral. While waiting, continue filing your weekly claims and check your eServices account daily for messages or status changes.

I tryed the governors office twice and nothing happened for me. Called and left messages and sent emails. Total waste of time! What worked was contacting my state representative instead. Their office has direct contact with ESD liaison and got my claim fixed in 3 days after being stuck for MONTHS. Google 'WA state find my representative' to get your local rep's contact info.

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.
