ESD approved some employers but not all - will I get paid while one is still pending?

Unfortunately, ESD typically won't release any payments until ALL pending issues are resolved. Even with 2 out of 3 employers approved, they'll likely hold everything until they make a determination on that last employer. The system is designed to resolve the entire claim before releasing funds. I went through something similar last year with multiple employers, and they didn't pay anything until every single issue was cleared. Have you tried calling them to check the status of that third employer's adjudication?

my cousin had this EXACT thing happen!!!! they approved 2 out of his 3 jobs and it took like 3 more weeks to get the last one approved. he didnt get ANY money until that last one came thru. so frustrating!!

Based on my experience with the ESD system, they need to clear all pending issues before releasing any payments. The good news is that since they've already approved similar separation reasons for your other employers, there's a good chance they'll approve the final one too. I'd recommend checking your online account daily for updates and also sending a secure message through your ESD portal specifically asking about the timeline for the remaining employer adjudication. Make sure to include your claim ID number and the specific employer you're asking about. In the meantime, continue filing your weekly claims without interruption.

I've been in your exact position and the waiting is brutal. ESD won't release ANY payments until every single issue is resolved - it's their standard procedure. While you're waiting, have you tried using Claimyr to get through to an ESD agent? I was stuck in pending for weeks until I used their service at claimyr.com and they got me connected to an actual person who could tell me exactly what was holding up my claim. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Honestly it saved me weeks of waiting and stressing - the agent was able to expedite my final pending issue once I actually got through to them.

has anyone here had their claim denied after waiting this long?? im in a similar situation and im scared they'll deny me after making me wait for weeks

One thing to keep in mind is that multi-state claims are notoriously more complicated and take longer to process. Since you mentioned employers in different states, ESD has to coordinate with those other state unemployment agencies, which adds time. The good news is that once they do approve everything, you should get backpay for all those pending weeks at once. Make sure you're answering any requests for information promptly and checking both your online portal and physical mail for any notices requiring action from you.

did u try calling the special multi-state claims number? its different from the regular esd number. i think its on their website somewhere. might have better luck getting thru on that one since less people know about it

Just to clarify some information here - ESD's official policy is that all issues must be resolved before payment can be released. However, they sometimes do partial approvals in certain circumstances. If your claim involves multiple employers but you have enough qualifying hours/wages from just the approved employers to establish a valid claim, they might release payment for those while continuing to investigate the other employer. This is not guaranteed though, and depends on your specific situation and the claims examiner handling your case. If you're facing financial hardship, make sure to mention this in any communication with ESD - there are sometimes options to expedite claims based on hardship.

Update on your situation? I'm curious if you've had any progress. Did you try contacting them?
