How long after ESD corrects a disqualification status will my UI payments actually arrive?

When this happened to me last year, it took about 5 business days for the status to change and then another 2 days for the money to hit my bank account. It depends on when they process the payment batch though. If they fixed it right after a payment cycle, you might have to wait until the next one. The ESD agent should have told you the timeline - they usually do!

Mine got fixed in 2 days

ugh ESD is the WORST!! they messed up my job search requirements too and said I didnt do them when I did! took almost 3 weeks to fix and i almost got evicted. they dont care at all about how long we wait. system is broken!!!!!

My sister had the exact same problem! They fixed her status after she proved she did her job search activities but then there was another problem because her employer contested something else. Make sure there aren't any other issues hiding in your account that might delay things further. Good luck!

I had a similar situation in January where my claim was incorrectly disqualified due to an error on their end. After they fixed it, my status changed from disqualified to paid within 3 business days, and the funds were deposited 2 days after that. However, this timing can vary depending on when during the week they make the correction. If you're approaching your rent due date and need to expedite things, I recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an ESD representative. I was skeptical at first, but they got me connected with an actual person at ESD within 30 minutes when I'd been trying for days without success. There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 The representative should be able to tell you exactly when to expect your payment and might even be able to expedite it if you explain your situation with rent coming due.

Keep in mind that "fixing" a disqualification involves several steps in their system. First, they have to remove the disqualification flag, then your weekly claims need to be reprocessed, and finally the payment has to be authorized. Each step can take 24-48 hours in my experience. If you check your online account, look specifically at your weekly claim status for each affected week. It should change from "disqualified" to "processing" and then to "paid." This gives you a better indication of where things stand than just checking your payment history. If you don't see any changes after 5 business days, definitely call them back. Sometimes they fix the flag but forget to reprocess the affected weeks.

did u try messaging them in eServices? sometimes thats faster than calling

To answer your original question more specifically: after a disqualification is removed, the standard processing time is 48-72 hours for the status to change in the system and then payments typically follow the normal payment schedule. However, if you're in a financial hardship situation (like potentially missing rent), mention this specifically when you contact ESD. In cases of hardship, they have procedures to expedite payments, sometimes processing them in 24 hours rather than waiting for the regular payment cycle. Not everyone at ESD knows about or offers this option unless you specifically mention the hardship. I also recommend documenting everything. Note the date, time, and name of any agent you speak with, along with what they told you was fixed. This can be invaluable if there are further delays or issues.

One last thing to check - make sure you filed your weekly claims for those disqualified weeks, even if they were showing as disqualified at the time. If you didn't file because you saw the disqualification, you'll need to request a backdate for those weeks, which is a separate process that can take longer.

I went through almost the exact same thing last month! My claim was wrongly disqualified for "insufficient work search" when I had documented everything properly. After they admitted the error and fixed it, it took exactly 4 business days for my status to change from disqualified to paid, and the money hit my account 2 days after that. The key thing is that they process corrections in batches, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So depending on when they made the fix, you might catch the next batch or have to wait for the one after. Since you're cutting it close with rent, I'd suggest calling back today or tomorrow and specifically mentioning that you're facing eviction - they do have expedited processing for hardship cases, but you have to ask for it directly. Also, keep screenshots of your account status changes as proof of the timeline in case your landlord needs documentation. Hope it gets sorted quickly for you!
