Claim suddenly shows adjudication status - 'Issue since 9/9/24' despite previously approved ESD payments

This happened to me last month! One day everything's fine, the next day BOOM adjudication. It's probably because something triggered their system - did you report any earnings recently or answer any weekly questions differently?

The 9/9/24 date is likely when an issue was flagged in their system, not related to your claim start date. This happens sometimes when ESD does random claim reviews or if something triggered their automated system. The most common reasons for sudden adjudication are: 1. Identity verification (they periodically re-verify) 2. Job search activity review 3. Employer contest (former employer challenging eligibility) 4. Earnings discrepancy (if wages were reported under your SSN) 5. System glitch during quarterly review You should continue filing your weekly claims while this is being resolved. Adjudication typically takes 3-6 weeks, but if you need this resolved faster, you'll need to speak with an ESD representative directly.

ESD DOES THIS ALL THE TIME!!! They just randomly put people in adjudication with NO WARNING and expect you to somehow magically know why. meanwhile ur supposed to survive with NO MONEY. its complete GARBAGE how they treat ppl. i went thru this exact thing in august and it took 7 WEEKS to resolve!!!

I recommend trying to reach ESD directly to find out what the issue is. The date (9/9/24) is when the issue was created in their system, not necessarily related to your claim start date. Sometimes ESD flags claims for review based on quarterly employer reports or random verification checks. I had trouble getting through on the phone lines for days until someone told me about this service called Claimyr. It connects you directly to an ESD agent instead of waiting on hold forever. I was skeptical but it actually worked - got through in about 20 minutes when I'd been trying for days. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Once you reach an agent, they can tell you exactly why your claim is in adjudication and sometimes even resolve simple issues immediately.

have u checked ur spam folder? sometimes they send emails that get filtered. also check ur correspondance tab in eservices not just the main inbox

This is actually quite common with ESD claims. The system performs quarterly reviews of all claims, and sometimes flags issues retroactively. The important thing to understand is that the "Issue since 9/9/24" date doesn't mean there's been a problem since then - it means their system created the issue on that date. Here's what you should do: 1. Continue filing your weekly claims on time (very important) 2. Check your Notices/Letters section in eServices, not just the inbox 3. Call ESD at 800-318-6022 (be prepared to try multiple times) 4. Look for any fact-finding questionnaires in your account that need to be completed Most importantly, document everything. Note when you call, who you speak with, and what they tell you. If this drags on beyond 3 weeks, you may want to contact your state representative's office - they often have liaisons who can help with ESD issues. The good news is that if your adjudication is resolved in your favor, you'll receive all back payments at once.

Omg i know exactly what this is!!! The same thing happened to me two weeks ago. so i called (took forever to get through btw) and they said it was because my previous employer filed a late response challenging my eligibility even though I'd been getting benefits for months! Check if you have a "fact finding" questionnaire somewhere in your account. They might have sent one about your separation from work?

My neighbor works for ESD (not saying this to brag just giving context lol) and she says September is when they do a lot of quarterly reviews. Apparently they're going through and checking everyones job search logs right now so that might be it. Do you upload your job search logs or just keep track of them yourself?

Just checking in - any updates on your situation? Were you able to reach ESD?
