ESD adjudicator called me today - how long until payment after adjudication?

my adjudcator called me on march 15th and my status changed to paid the next morning!! but then it took 3 more days for the money to actually show up in my account. just depends on your bank i think

It varies quite a bit based on your specific situation. If the adjudicator just needed to verify simple information, you might see payment within 24-48 hours. If there were more complex eligibility issues that needed review, it could take 3-5 business days for a determination to be made. Here's how the process typically works: 1. Adjudicator completes their review 2. Makes a determination on eligibility 3. If approved, your status will change from "pending" to "paid" 4. Payment processing takes 24-72 hours depending on your banking institution I'd recommend checking your eServices account for any correspondence or status updates. You can also check your action items and decision status pages for the latest information. Just because they called doesn't guarantee approval, but it's definitely a step forward that they're actively working on your claim.

took 2 WEEKS after my adjudicator call for my payments to start in january. they never even told me a decision was made just suddenly started getting money.

ESD is TERRIBLE with communication!! I had my adjudication interview on February 9th, and then silence for 3 days. I kept checking the website and calling - nothing but frustration. Then on day 4, I got THREE MONTHS of backpay all at once with ZERO warning! Almost $5,800 just appeared in my account! BUT my neighbor had her adjudication interview the same week and it took 10 days for her to get a rejection letter! Then she had to appeal and wait ANOTHER 6 weeks! The whole system is broken and inconsistent!!! My advice: keep documenting EVERYTHING. Take screenshots of your eServices account daily. Write down who you talk to and when. ESD makes too many mistakes and you'll need proof later when they inevitably mess something up!

Contacting the governor's office was a smart move! That often helps escalate claims that have been stuck in the system. Based on my experience helping people with their claims, here's what typically happens after adjudication: Best case scenario: If your adjudicator doesn't identify any issues requiring further review, your claim could be approved within 1-2 business days. The funds usually appear in your account 2-3 business days after approval (depending on your bank's processing time). Typical scenario: The adjudicator compiles their notes and recommendations, which then get reviewed by another staff member before final approval. This process usually takes 3-5 business days total before payment. If they found issues: Sometimes the adjudicator needs to gather additional information after the call (like contacting your former employer for verification). This can extend the timeline to 7-10 business days. Keep filing your weekly claims during this waiting period! Even if your initial claim is still pending, you need those weekly claims on file to receive payment for those weeks once approved.

i was in same boat!! waited 6 weeks then got adjudicator call on april 5. she was super nice asked about my job and why i got laid off. next morning my status changed to paid!!! money came 2 days later. hang in there your almost done with the nightmare!!! 🙏

After my adjudication interview, it took exactly 4 business days for my claim status to change from pending to paid. The money hit my account on day 6. I received backpay for all 7 weeks I had been waiting. If you don't see movement on your claim within 5 business days of your adjudicator call, I'd recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to ESD. I spent three full days trying to reach someone before discovering this service. Their video explains how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 It connected me directly to an ESD representative who could see the actual status of my claim and tell me exactly what was happening with it. Way better than the automated system that tells you nothing useful.

my story is little different but might help. i got approved without ever talking to adjudicator at all! waited 5 weeks and status suddenly changed from pending to paid. when i finally got someone on phone they said sometimes they can approve based just on documents without needing interview. every claim different i guess
