ESD suddenly disqualified my approved UI claim with no explanation - help!

This exact thing happened to me in March! It's super frustrating. Check your correspondence tab - sometimes they send you a letter that doesn't show up in alerts. Mine was because I answered a weekly certification question wrong (the one about being able and available). They never actually called it a disqualification letter though, it was called an 'eligibility determination' which is why I missed it at first.

did u check ur spam folder to? sometimes esd emails go there

This is fairly common with ESD unfortunately. There are a few possibilities: 1. There might be an identity verification issue that got flagged automatically 2. Your employer might have contested the claim 3. There could be an adjudication issue pending (even though it doesn't show that status) 4. Sometimes there's a system glitch where the disqualification shows before the actual notice is generated You NEED to talk to an actual ESD agent. The issue won't resolve itself and the online system won't tell you what's happening. Keep calling first thing in the morning (right when they open at 8am) and use all the phone lines including the general questions line.

I had this same issue back in February. After trying for WEEKS to get through on the phone, I finally used a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an ESD agent in about 25 minutes instead of having to redial for days. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 When I finally spoke with someone, turns out they had flagged my claim because I had worked in two states in the past 18 months, so they needed to verify my wages with the other state. The agent fixed it immediately and my payment was processed the next day. The weird thing is they never sent me ANY notification about it.

THE ESD SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE!!!! I got disqualified THREE TIMES for "failure to provide information" even though I NEVER received any requests for information!!! The whole system is designed to deny claims and make you give up. My advice: FILE AN APPEAL IMMEDIATELY even if you don't know what you're appealing. You only have 30 days to appeal from the disqualification date, and waiting for them to explain could burn through your appeal window.

Something similar happened to me last year. In my case, I had accidentally checked the wrong box on my weekly claim (said I wasn't available for work when I meant to say I was). Is it possible you made an error on your weekly certification? Look carefully at how you answered the questions about: - Being able and available for work - Work search activities (you need 3 per week) - Any earnings or hours reported - Refusing any work If you made a mistake on any of these, you can sometimes self-correct through the weekly claim system, or you'll need to explain to an agent when you get through.

Quick follow-up question - did you switch to a different browser or device when doing your most recent weekly claim? Sometimes the ESD website has compatibility issues with certain browsers or autocomplete settings that can cause problems. Also, check if the status says "disqualified" or "denied" - they mean different things in the ESD system.

my sister works for esd (not in claims tho) and she says sometimes theres just a random flag on ur acct that needs to be removed by a person. could be identity verification or something with ur previous employer. keep calling is my advice!!!!

Any update on your situation? Were you able to get through to ESD and find out what happened?
