ESD payment processing timeline - got 5 backpayments but 6th shows 'processing'

Congrats on getting approved! For online claims, the 'processing' status typically clears overnight and you should see the deposit in your bank account within 1-2 business days after it moves to 'paid' status. Sunday claims usually process by Monday night or Tuesday morning at the latest. If you filed on Sunday and it's still processing beyond Wednesday, that might indicate an issue requiring attention.

Thank you! That's reassuring. I'll give it until Thursday morning before I start worrying again. Just seems weird that the other 5 payments all went through at once but this one is lagging behind.

mine was like that 2 a couple months ago took like 3 days extra for the last one no idea why but it showed up eventually dont worry

Thanks! Good to hear yours eventually came through without you having to do anything.

The last payment is probably delayed because it's your most recent claim week. The system processes backpay differently than current week claims. If you filed this Sunday, the \

I had a similar situation last month, and my claim got stuck on

just wondering - did they pay u interest for making u wait 6 weeks?? they should have to pay us for their mistakes!

ESD doesn't pay interest on delayed unemployment benefits, unfortunately. The system isn't designed that way, even when the delay is on their end. The only exception would be if you win an appeal and are awarded benefits that were wrongfully denied - but even then, you just get the original benefit amount, not interest.

thats such BS!!! if we're late on ANYTHING we get penalized but they can just take their sweet time 😤

Just checking back - did your payment clear? Sunday claims should definitely be processed by now if there aren't any issues.

Yes!! It finally changed from 'processing' to 'paid' yesterday afternoon and the money hit my account this morning. Looks like it just needed an extra day compared to the backpay. Thanks everyone for the help and reassurance!

Can I ask what your claim was stuck on for those 6 weeks? Mine's been in adjudication for almost 5 weeks now and I'm losing my mind. Did you do anything special to get it moving?

Mine was stuck in adjudication too! They were verifying my reason for separation since my employer contested it initially. I called about 20 times over those 6 weeks but only got through twice. Second time I spoke with someone who actually escalated it properly and it was resolved within 3 days after that. Persistence was key in my case. Good luck with yours!
