From adjudication to payment in 24 hours - Governor's office call worked!

omg congrats!! im on week 4 of adjudication and getting so desperate. whats the governors office number??? did u have to say anything special when u called??

This is a great success story, but I want to clarify something important for others reading this: the Governor's Office intervention should be a last resort after you've exhausted other options. Before escalating, make sure you've: 1. Tried submitting messages through your eServices account 2. Called the regular ESD number multiple times 3. Checked if there are any alerts requiring action in your account 4. Uploaded all requested documents ESD adjudication typically takes 3-6 weeks in normal cases. The system prioritizes claims in order received, and when people jump the line via escalation, it can actually slow things down for everyone else. That said, if you're approaching 6+ weeks with no communication, escalation is reasonable.

If anyone is struggling to get through to ESD on the phone, I'd recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). It's a service that helps you bypass the phone queues and actually reach a live agent. They have a video demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 showing how it works. I was skeptical, but after being stuck in adjudication for weeks, I tried it and got connected to an ESD agent who actually explained what was happening with my claim. Definitely worth considering if you're in adjudication limbo and need answers.

just want to add that i had the EXACT same experience!!! was stuck in adjucation for almost 2 months, no money, bills piling up, called regular ESD line like 30 times and always got hung up on. then i called Gov office on monday and boom my payments hit my account wednesday morning! the whole system is rigged to make people give up imo

For those dealing with adjudication delays, it's important to understand what might be causing it: 1. Employer dispute - Your former employer challenged your eligibility 2. Earnings verification - ESD can't confirm your reported wages 3. Job separation reason - Quit vs. fired can trigger investigation 4. Availability issues - If you indicated limited availability for work 5. Work search requirements - Missing or incomplete job search activities Check your ESD correspondence tab for any notices requesting additional information. Often, adjudication is delayed because they're waiting for documentation they already requested. Also make sure you're completing your weekly claims correctly while waiting - you'll get backpay for all eligible weeks once adjudication is complete.

Congradulations on getting your payments! I'm in my 7th week of adjudication and literally about to be evicted. I tried calling the governors office yesterday afternoon but the woman who answered was super rude and said they don't handle ESD issues anymore and hung up on me. Maybe it depends who answers? I'm going to try again tomorrow morning and hope for someone different. This whole system is designed to make people give up i swear.

Thanks for sharing your timeline! Quick question - after your payments were approved, how long exactly did it take for the money to appear in your bank account? I'm asking because my adjudication just cleared yesterday (after 6 long weeks), and my ESD account shows payments were sent, but nothing in my bank yet. Getting anxious since I have rent due Monday!
