ESD adjudication date changed back - claim progress disappearing?

This happened to me last month! The adjudication date changed three times over two weeks. From what I understand, this usually means different ESD specialists are reviewing your claim. Each time someone new looks at it, the date might update. The date reverting doesn't necessarily mean progress was lost - it might just reflect which part of your claim they're focusing on. Try not to panic - these fluctuations are actually normal in the system.

calling the governors office probly didnt help tbh. they just send a message to esd and makes ur claim get flagged for extra review. those date changes are just system glitches happens all the time. my brothers claim had like 5 different dates showing up before it got fixed

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE AND DISCOURAGE YOU!!! They WANT you to give up! I had SEVEN different adjudication dates over 2 months before finally getting approved. They're understaffed and overwhelmed but instead of admitting it they just keep bouncing claims around. Don't give up - that's exactly what they want!!!

Have you tried calling ESD directly? I know the wait times are terrible, but I finally got through after using Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have this system that holds your place in line and calls you when an agent is available. Saved me hours of being on hold. There's a demo video here if you want to see how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. When I finally talked to an agent, they explained that the changing dates were actually signs of progress as different specialists were reviewing my claim. Worth a shot instead of just watching the dates change!

my claim did the EXACT same thing in January!! first it said 1/5 then 1/17 then back to 1/5 and I was convinced they lost my paperwork. but then it suddenly got approved a week later! the rep told me later that sometimes when they assign different issues to different reviewers the dates can bounce around. hang in there!

To answer your question from earlier - after seeing the date changes, my claim was approved within about 10 days. From what the agent told me when I finally spoke with someone, the changing dates can actually be a positive sign that your claim is being actively worked on rather than sitting in a queue somewhere. Different specialists may be looking at different aspects of your claim (wage verification, reason for separation, etc.), and each one might update the system differently.

For anyone dealing with adjudication date changes, here's what's actually happening behind the scenes: 1. Initial adjudication date = when your issue was first identified 2. Date changes = claim moving between specialists or departments 3. Date reversions = sometimes happen when multiple issues are being reviewed The ESD system wasn't designed to show claimants these internal workflows, which is why it appears inconsistent. Best advice: don't read too much into the specific dates. Instead, focus on making sure you've submitted all requested documents and keep an eye on your messages section for any requests for information.

My sister works for ESD (not allowed to help with specific claims tho) and she told me the changing dates thing happens ALL THE TIME. She said its because of the way their computer system works. Different parts of your claim can be in different stages and the system only shows one date at a time. So it might show the newest action one day and then switch back to showing an older issue thats still open the next day. She says its confusing for the workers too!

Has anyone else noticed that these date changes seem to happen more often toward the end of the month? I swear there's some kind of quota system where they pretend to make progress at certain times! My neighbor and I both had similar experiences in different months!

UPDATE: You all were right! I finally got through to ESD this morning after trying for days. The agent explained that my claim is being reviewed by two different specialists - one handling an employment verification issue and another reviewing my availability for work. The different dates were showing depending on which part of my case was being updated. She said I should expect a decision within 7-10 business days! Such a relief to finally understand what's happening. Thanks everyone for your help and sharing your experiences!

So glad you got through and got real answers! This is exactly why calling ESD directly (even though it's a pain) is so important. Your experience perfectly illustrates what many of us have been saying - those date changes usually DO mean progress is happening, even when it doesn't feel like it. Having two specialists working on different parts of your claim actually sounds like they're being thorough. Hoping you get good news in those 7-10 days! Keep us posted on how it goes.
