Finally won misconduct appeal - how long for ESD backpay to arrive?

Congrats on winning! thats awesome

In my experience, ESD usually processes backpay within 7-10 business days after a successful appeal decision. Since your claim involves misconduct reversal, they might need to manually review the weeks you're eligible for, which could add a few days. Check your eServices account daily - it should update to show a payment issue date before the money actually hits your bank account or debit card. If you don't see any movement after 2 weeks, that's when I'd start getting concerned.

I won my appeal in february but had to wait almost a MONTH before i got my money!!! The esd website kept saying "processing" and then one day it just showed up. Make sure they have ur correct direct deposit info. And congrats on winning! misconduct cases are hard to win.

This happened to me last year, took exactly 13 days from decision to money in my account. When I got nervous after a week, I tried calling but couldn't get through to anyone. If your backpay is still not there after 2 weeks I recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an actual ESD person. They have a video showing how it works at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. It got me connected to an agent who could actually see my payment status in their system and give me the exact date it would arrive. Worth it for the peace of mind especially with such a large backpay amount.

Anyone saying they know exactly how long it'll take is LYING. ESD is completely inconsistent. I know someone who got their backpay in 3 days after winning their appeal and I know someone else who had to wait SIX WEEKS!!!! It depends what adjudicator gets assigned to process your payment and how backed up the system is. The whole system is designed to make people give up. They hope you'll just go away after they wrongfully deny you. KEEP CALLING THEM EVERY DAY until you get your money!!!

Congratulations on your successful appeal! For backpay after misconduct reversals specifically, the timeframe is typically 5-15 business days. Here's why the variation exists: 1. Your backpay amount ($12,800) is significant, which means it may require additional verification before release 2. The payment system runs nightly batches, so which day your payment gets included matters 3. Once scheduled for payment, direct deposit takes 2-3 business days, debit cards 3-5 days One important thing to check: make sure your eServices account shows all the eligible weeks correctly. Sometimes after appeals, they miss including certain weeks in the backpay calculation. Review each week's status to confirm they all show as payable. If you don't see movement within 10 business days, you should contact ESD directly as there might be another verification step needed on your claim.

wait so did u get a letter in the mail saying u won or did it just show up in your eservices account? i'm in the middle of an appeal for a similar thing and trying to figure out what to expect

my cousin had this happen and she said they sent all her backpay on a prepaid card even tho she had direct deposit set up for her regular payments... might want to watch your mail for that too just in case

Just to follow up on this thread - any update on your payment? Did it arrive within the timeframe most of us suggested?
