ESD claim showing 'processing web' after adjudication with no approval letter - what does this mean?

The fact that they allowed you to file weekly claims is typically a good sign. 'Processing web' usually means they're processing your weekly claims after you submitted them. It's common to not receive an approval letter immediately - sometimes they just start paying benefits without sending formal notification first, especially if they're backed up. Check your account again in 2-3 business days. If it shows 'paid' instead of 'processing' and there's a payment date listed, you should receive funds shortly after. This timing depends on your payment method (direct deposit is faster than debit card).

same thing happened 2 me last month!! the processing web thing freaked me out but got paid 3 days later. no letter or anything just $$$ in my account suddenly lol. ESD is weird like that sometimes

Processing web is MEANINGLESS honestly. I've had it say that for weeks and still get denied or it says that for a day and then pays out. The system is broken. My theory is nobody at ESD even knows what half the statuses mean. They never tell you anything clearly and expect you to just figure it out.

I had the exact same experience but mine was for a temporary layoff at my construction job. When I was able to file weekly claims before getting an actual approval I was confused too! But it worked out fine in the end. Just keep filing your weekly claims even if it still says processing. Good luck!

This is actually a fairly common scenario with ESD. The ability to file weekly claims doesn't guarantee approval, but it's generally a positive indicator. Here's what's likely happening: 1. Your initial eligibility is being determined (the adjudication phase) 2. While that's happening, they're letting you file weekly claims so that IF you're approved, they can quickly pay those weeks 3. The 'processing web' status means those weekly claims are being held pending the adjudication decision If your adjudication resolves positively, those weekly claims will process through to payment. If your application is denied, they'll simply stay in the system but won't be paid. My advice: Keep filing your weekly claims every week, even while waiting. If you haven't heard anything in another week, you should try contacting ESD directly, though that can be challenging with their call volumes.

I struggled getting through to ESD for WEEKS during my adjudication. What finally worked for me was using Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have a system that gets you through the ESD phone queue without having to redial hundreds of times. Saved my sanity! They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Once I got through to an actual agent, they were able to tell me exactly what was happening with my claim and gave me an estimated timeline. The agent even pushed my claim through to the next step while I was on the phone.

KEEP FILING YOUR WEEKLY CLAIMS no matter what!!!!! I didn't file for two weeks because I was confused about the status and ended up losing those weeks forever. Even if they haven't formally approved you yet you MUST keep filing every single week or you will not get paid for those weeks even if you're eventually approved.

btw whats ur job industry? my friend in healthcare got approved super fast but my other friend in retail took like 6 weeks. think it depends on ur work history too

Quick update on what you should expect timing-wise: If your weekly claims process successfully, payment usually occurs 2 business days after the status changes from 'processing' to 'paid'. For direct deposit, funds typically appear 1-2 business days after the payment date shown in your ESD account. For the debit card option, it can take 2-3 additional business days. Regarding backdating: If your initial application date was in December, and you're approved, you should be able to file for all eligible weeks since then, not just the two most recent weeks. Look for an option to file for previous weeks once your claim is approved.
