ESD sent double payment last week, nothing this week - payment schedule issue?

This happened to me in February. The double payment was actually a retroactive adjustment for a previous week they underpaid you. Check your payment history in eServices under 'UI Claim Details' and you'll see which weeks each payment was for. One was probably for an older week. The missing payment this week might be unrelated - sometimes there's a bank processing delay, especially if you changed any direct deposit info recently.

dont worry about it!!! the system does wierd stuff all the time. my payments are always showing up random days sometimes tuesday sometimes not till friday. just wait another day probly

I strongly recommend calling ESD directly about this. When payment patterns change like this, it's often because there's an issue they need to verify with you. The system might be holding your payment pending a review of the double payment situation. They won't answer these questions in eServices messages - you need to speak with an agent. I was stuck in a similar situation last month and couldn't get through on the phones for days. I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 The agent I spoke with was able to immediately see what was happening with my irregular payments and fixed it on the spot.

THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO CONFUSE PPL!!! i swear they do this on purpose to make us give up. they sent me 3 payments one week then NOTHING for 2 weeks then said i was overpaid and took $$$ back. its all a big GAME to them while we struggle to pay bills. good luck getting a straight answer when u call - they'll just blame the "system" 🙄

Have you checked if there are any new alerts or messages in your eServices inbox? Sometimes they'll send a notice about payment holds or adjustments but it doesn't trigger an email notification. Also check if your claim status changed from active to pending or if there are any new issues listed under your claim details tab.

Another thing to check: did you recently pass your benefit year end date? Sometimes there's a payment gap when your claim rolls over to a new benefit year, even if you have remaining benefits. The system might be recalculating your eligibility. They don't make this clear anywhere in the portal.

Quick update: just got my payment today! It was just delayed for some reason. The double payment from last week was indeed for a back-week adjustment like someone mentioned. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
