Employment end date mismatch with ESD claim - how to fix without triggering adjudication?

Don't panic yet! This is actually a common issue with contract jobs. You have a few options: 1. The best approach is to report this through eServices using the "Update Claim Information" option. Clearly explain the date discrepancy and that your employer is showing a later end date than when you actually stopped working. 2. When you file your next weekly claim, make sure to report any additional earnings you receive from that extra week they're paying you for. 3. Do NOT cancel your existing claim to file a new one - that will definitely cause delays. ESD deals with these employment date mismatches all the time. The important thing is to be proactive and transparent about it before they flag it as a potential issue.

omg the same thing happened with my last job!!! they kept me on payroll for like 10 days after i was done working and i got soooo confused with my UI claim. ended up getting flagged for potential fraud even tho i reported everything right 😤

Former ESD claims specialist here. What you're experiencing is actually very common with contract positions, especially in tech. Here's what you need to do: 1. Don't submit a new claim - that will just complicate things 2. Use the secure message center in eServices to explain the situation clearly. Include the actual last day worked (April 15) and the reported last day from your employer (April 21) 3. For your weekly claims, always report any income received during the week you're claiming, even if you didn't work those days 4. Be prepared that your claim might temporarily go into adjudication while they sort this out, but providing clear information upfront minimizes delays What's happening is your employer is paying you through the end of a pay period even though you stopped working earlier. As long as you report the income when you receive it, you should be fine.

Good luck getting through to anyone at ESD to fix this! I had a similar situation last year and spent WEEKS trying to get someone on the phone. Their call system is completely broken - you get disconnected after waiting for hours. I ended up using a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me through to an actual person after weeks of trying on my own. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Once I finally spoke with an agent, they were able to update my employment dates on the spot. Definitely worth it to avoid the adjudication nightmare.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but ANY discrepancy between what you report and your employer reports will trigger adjudication. ESD's system automatically flags claims when dates don't match. Been there, done that, waited 9 weeks to get it resolved. The system is designed to assume claimants are trying to commit fraud rather than dealing with employer mistakes.

This exact situation happened to me in February! My contract ended but the staffing agency kept me on payroll for administrative reasons. Here's what worked for me: 1. I continued filing weekly claims as normal, making sure to report any earnings for weeks I was still being paid 2. I sent a detailed message through eServices explaining the discrepancy 3. I also uploaded a letter from my direct supervisor confirming my actual last day worked My claim did go into adjudication for about 3 weeks, but then everything was approved and I received back payments. Having documentation from someone at the company about your actual last working day is super helpful!

Don't stress too much about this. Yes, ESD's systems are frustrating, but they do eventually sort things out. Just make sure you're completely honest about everything. The worst thing you can do is try to hide information because you're worried about delays. That's what really triggers the fraud investigations that can take months to resolve.

Based on all the advice here, I'd recommend taking these steps immediately: 1. Send that detailed message through eServices explaining the date discrepancy 2. Get documentation from your supervisor about your actual last day worked 3. Continue filing weekly claims accurately, reporting any additional income 4. If you don't see movement within a week, try to speak with an ESD representative directly The good news is that date mismatches are common enough that there are established procedures for handling them. The key is documenting everything clearly.
