ESD adjudication timeframe for reopened claim after missed weekly filings

I went through almost the exact same thing about 2 months ago. My adjudication for reopening took about 3 weeks from start to finish. The good news is that if you're getting paid for new weekly claims, that means your claim is active again - the adjudication is just determining if you'll get those missed weeks paid retroactively. I wouldn't call every week - that's probably overkill. Maybe check in once every 10 days or so if you don't hear anything. The ESD online messages system works too, but responses can take 5-7 business days.

adjudication can take FOREVER sometimes. mine took 8 weeks last year for missed filings!! and i called like 20 times and got different answers every time. so frustrating. good luck

The adjudication timeframe really depends on their current workload. Right now it's averaging 4-6 weeks for most types of adjudication issues. The fact that you're still receiving benefits for current weeks is a good sign - it means your claim is active despite the pending adjudication. Regarding those missed weeks, here's what you should know: 1. There's a limit on how far back they'll pay missed weeks (typically no more than 4 weeks) 2. You'll need to prove "good cause" for missing those filings - medical issues including documented ADHD can sometimes qualify 3. The "Failure to reopen" issue is standard procedure when manually reopening a claim I'd recommend calling only if you hit the 6-week mark with no updates. Be sure to continue filing your weekly claims on time while you wait.

Getting through to ESD is the hardest part!! I had to wait on hold for 4+ hours multiple times during my adjudication process. After trying for weeks, I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an agent. They have this system that holds your place in line and calls you back when an agent is available. Saved me SO much time and frustration. There's a demo video if you want to see how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Seriously worth it for peace of mind.

Listen, the ESD system is BROKEN!!! I waited 11 WEEKS for my adjudication last year!!! And they expect us to just sit around with no money while they take their sweet time?? It's ridiculous. The whole system is designed to make you give up. DON'T give up!! Call them every few days and keep detailed notes of who you talk to and what they say. Half the time the agents don't even know their own rules!!!

i have adhd too and missed filings are the worst. what helps me is i set an alarm for every sunday at 2pm and dont dismiss it until im actually on the website filing. also wrote it on my bathroom mirror lol. for the adjudication my experience was about 4 weeks wait time.

One thing to be aware of - make sure you can document why you missed those filings. When I went through adjudication for missed weeks, they asked for evidence of why I missed filing. I had medical documentation which helped my case. Do you have anything from a doctor about your ADHD? That might help if they ask for proof of 'good cause' for missing the filings. Just something to have ready.

I know waiting for adjudication is stressful but theres som good news in your situation. If youre still able to file and get paid for current weeks, that means your claim is active and in good standing overall. The adjudication is just for those specific missed weeks. In my experience with a similar situation, it took about 25 days for the adjudication to complete. Just keep filing on time while you wait!
