ESD system not letting me file weekly claims after Nov 11th - getting hung up on constantly

This EXACT thing happened to me last month! The system just stopped giving me the option to file. Turned out my benefit year had ended and I needed to open a new claim, but of course ESD doesn't actually TELL you this clearly. Check your benefit year end date on your claim summary page - that might be what's going on.

There are a few possibilities here: 1. Your benefit year expired (as someone else mentioned) 2. You reached your maximum benefit amount 3. There's an eligibility issue that hasn't been flagged properly in the system 4. You have an adjudication pending that isn't showing correctly First, check your claim summary page for your benefit year end date. If that's not it, look at your remaining balance - if it's zero, you've exhausted benefits. Also, sometimes ESD's system glitches and you need to clear your browser cache and cookies or try a different browser altogether. That fixed a similar issue for me once.

have u tried filing at exactly midnight on sunday? sometimes the system only shows the filing option during specific time windows. also check ur spam folder for any ESD emails they might have sent u

I went through something similar and it turned out I needed to verify my identity AGAIN even though I'd already done it when I first applied. The system didn't notify me properly. Try looking for any identity verification requests or check if there's a link to verify identity through ID.me on your dashboard. Their system is honestly terrible at communicating when something is wrong.

The same exact thing happened to my brother last year and he thought he was going crazy! Turns out he had accidentally gotten his account locked by entering the wrong password too many times. The system didn't tell him it was locked - it just stopped showing the weekly claim option! Try resetting your password completely, might fix it.

After trying for WEEKS to reach ESD about a similar issue (mine was an adjudication that mysteriously disappeared from my dashboard), I finally found a service called Claimyr that got me through to an ESD agent in about 25 minutes. It basically keeps dialing for you and holds your place in line. I was skeptical but it actually worked - I finally got answers about my missing claim options. You might want to check out their video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 or go to claimyr.com. Seriously saved my sanity after trying to call ESD myself for days.

UPDATE: So I FINALLY got through to ESD this morning after trying that Claimyr service someone mentioned. Turns out there was a "potential fraud alert" on my account that wasn't showing up anywhere in my online portal! The agent was able to remove the flag and reset my weekly claim access. She said they've been dealing with a ton of fraud attempts so their system is being extra cautious, but she admitted their notification system is flawed. My weekly claim option is back now! For anyone else experiencing this - keep trying to reach them because there might be something happening behind the scenes that you can't see online.

i had same problem turns out i needed to verify work search activities from previous weeks that i forgot to enter, check if theres a alert about work search somewhere in your account maybe? esd is super picky about the 3 job search activities now
