Called governor's office about stuck ESD adjudication - realistic timeline for approval?

I went through something similar back in March. My claim was stuck in adjudication for about 5 weeks before I contacted the governor's office. After I did that, it took roughly 7-10 business days before I saw any movement. The governor's office basically forwards your information to an ESD escalation team who then prioritizes your claim. Make sure you keep checking your eServices account daily and also your email for any correspondence requiring action.

i did this last yr. took like 2 weeks after i contacted govs office. they actually helped!!

The governor's office route can definitely help, but it's still not immediate. From my experience helping clients with ESD issues, you're typically looking at 5-14 business days for them to process an escalated claim. It really depends on their current backlog and the complexity of your adjudication issue. Do you know what's causing the adjudication in the first place? Was there a separation issue with your employer, earnings discrepancy, or something else? That can affect timeline too.

THE GOVERNORS OFFICE IS USELESS!!!!! I tried them TWICE and nothing happened. ESD is a complete disaster. I waited 11 weeks in adjudication and when I finally got approved they owed me $7,800 in back payments. The whole system is designed to make people give up.

Have you tried using Claimyr? After my claim was stuck for weeks, I used their service to get through to an actual ESD agent instead of waiting on hold for hours. It cost money but was worth it for me - they connected me directly to an agent who could see exactly what was holding up my claim and told me what I needed to do to fix it. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 - Might be worth checking out while you're waiting for the governor's office route to work.

Contacting the governor's office can indeed help expedite claims that are stuck in adjudication, but there's no guaranteed timeline. Based on current ESD processing standards in 2025, most escalated claims see movement within 5-14 business days after the governor's office forwards the request. That said, here are some tips to potentially speed things up further: 1. Make sure you've uploaded all requested documentation to your eServices account 2. Continue filing your weekly claims without interruption 3. Check your spam/junk email folders daily for ESD communications 4. If you received any fact-finding questionnaires, ensure they're completed promptly The main benefit of the governor's office intervention is that it forces ESD to assign someone to review your specific case rather than leaving it in the general queue.

did u try calling esd directly? sometime they can tell u whats wrong even if they cant fix it

Quick update - I just checked with a client who contacted the governor's office last month about an adjudication issue. Their claim was resolved in 8 business days after the referral. So that's one recent data point that might help set your expectations realistically.

My brother had his claim stuck four months!! He called governors office and nothing happened for almost 3 weeks, then suddenly everything was fixed and he got backpay for everything. So dont give up hope but also dont expect miracles tomorrow. The system is totally broken.

One thing I learned from my experience - when your claim does get approved after adjudication, if you're owed backpay, it typically shows up 2-3 business days after the approval. Just so you can plan accordingly once you see movement on your claim status.
