ESD adjudication status changing daily - normal or problem?

those status changes are actually a good sign!! when mine started changing it meant someone was finally looking at my claim. took about 3 days after the changing started before it got approved

Status changes typically indicate your claim is actively being worked on by an adjudicator. Each status represents a different stage in the review process: 'awaiting documents' means they're gathering evidence, 'under review' means they're evaluating the information, and 'pending decision' means they're preparing to make a determination. This progression is actually normal and suggests your claim is moving forward, not stuck. Keep checking daily and make sure you've submitted all requested documentation. If you haven't already, upload any medical documentation that supports your attendance issues - this could significantly help your case.

I had the EXACT same thing happen last month!!! My status kept changing for 4 days straight but still said adjudication. I got super confused and tried calling but couldn't get through (surprise surprise). Then on day 5, it suddenly changed to approved and all my weeks processed at once. I think when the status changes like that it means different people are handling different parts of your claim or they're moving it through some kind of review process. Good luck!!!

ESD system is always glitching lol. Wouldn't trust any of it. Call them directly if u want real answers.

After weeks of trying to get through to ESD on the phone without success, I found this service called Claimyr that got me connected to an ESD agent in about 15 minutes. They basically keep dialing for you and then call you when they get through. It saved me so much time and frustration! I was able to ask about my changing adjudication status and get a clear answer about my timeline. Their website is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Seriously, it was worth it to finally talk to a real person.

I work in HR and deal with unemployment claims from the employer side. Those status changes are 100% normal and actually a GOOD sign. When a claim sits with no status changes for weeks, that's when you should worry. The system updates as different stages of adjudication are completed. 'Pending decision' usually means they're in the final review stages. Just be aware that if your employer is contesting based on attendance, you'll need to clearly establish that your absences were for medical reasons that were properly documented and communicated. If you have doctor's notes and evidence you notified your employer, make sure that's all been submitted to ESD.

my claim did that too but then it went back to the beginning and i had to redo everything. the whole system is designed to make ppl give up. i was in adjudication for 11 WEEKS before finally getting approved. its all about how persistent u are. keep calling every single day!!!

One more tip - while those status changes are typically positive signs, it's also a good time to check your correspondence in eServices. Sometimes they'll request additional information while the status is changing, and those notices can be easy to miss. Make sure you're checking both your dashboard AND your correspondence/letters section daily.

update us when you get approved!! sending good vibes
