ESD lump sum payment after adjudication? Will I get all 6 weeks at once?

Yeah when mine finally cleared last year they dumped it all at once. I was in adjudication for like 8 weeks and got a fat deposit the day after approval. It was actually kinda weird cuz I had forgotten how much it would be lol

When adjudication is complete and your claim is approved, ESD typically processes all eligible weeks in a single payment. This is standard procedure for backpayments on claims that were held pending adjudication resolution. You should see all 6 weeks paid together as long as you've completed all weekly certifications correctly. Make sure you've addressed any alerts or messages in your eServices account, as these can delay payment even after adjudication is complete.

they paied mine in bunches,, not all at once.. got like 3 weeks then 2 weeks later another payment showed up. somethin about payment processing limits idk

I've been through this NIGHTMARE twice now! The first time they paid everything at once after 5 weeks in adjudication. The second time (last month) they split it into TWO payments for some weird reason - got 3 weeks worth on a Tuesday and then the other 4 weeks two days later on Thursday. ESD never explains ANYTHING!!! The system is totally broken and they don't care how long we have to wait for OUR MONEY!

Most claimants receive all backpayments in a single deposit once adjudication completes favorably. However, there are some situations where payments might be split: 1. If the total exceeds certain system thresholds (rare but happens) 2. If some weeks are approved but others require additional review 3. If your bank has deposit limits 4. If there were different issues under adjudication with different resolution dates Either way, you should receive all eligible payments within a very short timeframe once adjudication completes. Make sure your payment method is properly set up in eServices to avoid additional delays.

Have you tried contacting ESD directly to ask about your adjudication status? If you can actually get through to a live agent, they can often tell you exactly what's holding up your claim and sometimes even expedite the process. I was stuck for 7 weeks until I finally got through to someone who resolved it in minutes. I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get past the phone system nightmare. Their service got me connected to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes after I'd spent weeks unable to get through. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Worth it just to get some actual information about your specific situation rather than guessing.

make sure u claimed all your weeks right!! my buddy thought he was gettin 8 weeks back pay but he messed up 2 of his weekly claims so only got 6 weeks worth

btw when mine finally processed it hit my account at like 3am lol. woke up to a surprise deposit. felt like christmas morning after all that stress

One more thing to note - when you do receive your payment, check that you received the correct amount. Calculate what you expect based on your weekly benefit amount multiplied by the number of weeks, minus any applicable taxes if you opted for withholding. If there's a discrepancy, contact ESD immediately, as correcting payment errors becomes more complicated the longer you wait.
