How long after ESD expedited my claim via Governor's office intervention until I get paid?

When my claim got expedited after the Governor's intervention, it took exactly 3 business days for the money to hit my account. They processed all my back weeks at once. Make sure your payment method is set up correctly in eServices - direct deposit is faster than the debit card option. Also, double check that you don't have any "Issues and Decisions" showing in your account that might hold things up even after expediting.

it took like 2 weeks for me even after they said it was expedited... dont get ur hopes up ESD is the worst

I worked for ESD during the pandemic, and while I can't speak to current timelines exactly, I can tell you that "expedited" claims typically move to the front of the adjudication queue. The timeline depends on why your claim was held up in the first place. If it was a simple identity verification or employer response issue that's been resolved, you might see payment in 2-5 business days. If there's a more complex issue requiring review of documents or additional verification, it could take 5-10 business days even when expedited. One thing to note: calling them back won't speed things up and might actually slow the process down as staff get pulled to answer phones instead of processing claims. Your best bet is to keep checking your eServices account daily.

Mine took 4 days after the governor office thing. But my brother-in-law waited almost 3 weeks for the same thing last month so who knows honestly

THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!! I got the exact same "expedited" promise after I contacted my state representative (not governor). Three weeks later STILL NOTHING so I called again and they claimed they had "no record" of my claim being expedited!!! Had to start the whole process over again and it was ANOTHER two weeks. ESD is completely broken and they just tell people whatever to get them off the phone.

I had to do this back in January when my claim got stuck for 9 weeks! After the governor's office stepped in, I got paid in 5 days. My cousin went through the same thing in March and got paid in 4 days. It seems pretty consistent once they actually expedite it. Hang in there!!!

Have you tried using Claimyr to get through to ESD directly? I was in the same situation last month and spent days trying to get through on the phone without success. A friend recommended Claimyr (claimyr.com) and I got through to an actual ESD agent in about 15 minutes. The agent was able to tell me exactly what was happening with my expedited claim and gave me a specific timeline for payment. They have a video demo that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Might be worth trying if you need more specific info about your expedited claim status.

just wanted 2 update - my friend got paid 2 days after governor expedite last week so maybe theyve gotten better?

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know I got my payment this morning - took exactly 4 business days after the expedite call! All back weeks paid at once. If anyone else is stuck in adjudication hell, definitely contact your state rep or the governor's office. It really works!
