ESD Weekly Payment Stuck on Processing for 4 Days - Anyone Else Experiencing Delays?

Yeah there seems to be some kind of holdup with ESD's payment system this week. Mine is also still 'processing' and I filed Sunday afternoon. A friend of mine who works at WorkSource mentioned they've been having database maintenance issues that are causing delays for a lot of claims. She said it could take until tomorrow or even Monday to clear up.

Thanks for letting me know! That's a relief to hear it's not just my claim. Did your friend mention if we need to do anything on our end, or just wait it out?

mine is still processng to. filed sunday morning. this is BS!!

Same here. 3 weeks without issues then suddenly this delay. Trying not to stress but bills dont pay themselves...

I've been on UI for 4 months now and this happened once before - turned out they were doing a system update that slowed everything down. The annoying part is they never announce these things in advance! I called ESD about it last time and waited 3 hours just to be told \

If you need to reach ESD quickly about your payment delay, try using Claimyr.com - I used it last month when my payment was stuck and got through to an agent in about 15 minutes instead of waiting for hours. They have a video showing how it works at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Saved me a ton of stress when I needed to find out why my payments were delayed.

Thanks for the tip! I might try that tomorrow if my payment doesn't come through overnight. Did they give you any insight into why your payment was delayed last time?

There's actually a technical issue affecting payment processing this week. ESD is experiencing delays due to a system upgrade they implemented last weekend. According to their technical support department (I called this morning), they're working through a backlog and most payments should process by the end of tomorrow.\n\nA few things to keep in mind:\n\n1. Your claim is still valid - this is just a processing delay\n2. You will receive the full amount you're entitled to\n3. No additional action is needed on your part\n4. The system upgrade should actually improve processing times going forward\n\nIf your payment doesn't show as \

Thank you SO much for this detailed information! This is exactly what I needed to know. I was starting to worry something was wrong with my claim specifically. I'll wait until Monday before panicking then.

my payment is alos late i filed on sunday afternoon and usually get paid by wensday. happened to me last month to and the money just showed up a week late with no explanaton!! ESD never tells us anything dont even bother calling them its impossible to get thru anyway

I noticed that too - they're terrible about communicating system issues. Would it kill them to put a banner on the website saying \

Update: my payment just went through! Check your accounts - maybe they're starting to process the backlog now.

Just checked and mine is still showing as processing unfortunately 😞 Hopefully tomorrow...

For those still waiting, I just received an email update from ESD. They confirmed they've resolved the technical issue and all remaining delayed payments should process overnight tonight. They apologized for the delay and inconvenience.\n\nLooks like they're finally getting better at communicating these issues! The email mentioned they're implementing a new notification system to alert claimants about potential delays in the future.

Just got the email too! And my payment status just changed to \
