ESD adjudication GONE after 4 weeks - how quickly will I get paid?

Congrats!! When mine switched from pending to paid last month, the money was in my account within 2 business days. If you have direct deposit set up correctly, you should see it pretty quick. The date change is totally normal - that's just when they resolved the adjudication. Did you ever get a fact-finding questionnaire or phone interview during those 4 weeks?

the date changing is just when they finished reviewing ur case. money usually comes in 2-3 days for most ppl but could take up to 5 business days depending on ur bank. congrats on getting approved!!

Don't get too excited yet. Mine showed "paid" for a FULL WEEK before changing BACK to "pending" with ANOTHER adjudication. ESD is a COMPLETE MESS right now. I went through THREE separate adjudications before finally getting paid. They'll probably find some random employer from 5 years ago to question you about! 🤬

The date change is completely normal and actually a good sign. When an adjudication is resolved, the system updates the date to reflect when the decision was made. As for payment, with direct deposit, you'll typically receive funds within 2 business days. If you're set up for the ESD debit card, it may take 3-4 business days. One important recommendation: take screenshots of your claim status showing the "paid" status. If there are any issues later, having documentation of what your account showed can be extremely helpful.

My sister had the exact same thing happen last week! Her money came through 3 days later so you should be good soon 👍

If you're concerned about the timing of your payment or want to confirm everything is processing correctly, I'd recommend using Claimyr to connect with an ESD agent directly. I was stuck in a similar situation and couldn't get through on the regular phone line for days. Used their service at claimyr.com and got connected to an agent in about 20 minutes who confirmed my payment was being processed. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Just having that confirmation directly from an agent gave me so much peace of mind rather than constantly checking the portal and wondering.

Anyone know why mine has been in adjudication for SIX WEEKS now? Still no movement at all. So frustrating watching others get through while mine just sits there! Called 45+ times and can't get a human. Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm desperate for advice...

Did you do anything special that might have triggered the resolution? Did you call them or submit any additional documentation during the 4 weeks? Might help others who are stuck to know what worked for you.

make sure ur bank account info is correct in the system!! my friend had his payment approved but the money went nowhere cuz he had an old account listed

Just to give you some additional peace of mind - the fact that the adjudication status is completely gone (rather than showing 'completed' or 'denied') is the best possible outcome. It means they found nothing that would prevent payment. Your claim has essentially moved to standard processing now. For future reference for anyone reading this thread: the average adjudication period in Washington state is currently running 3-5 weeks for regular UI claims. PUA and PEUC claims are no longer active in 2025.
