Missed ESD appointment deadline - filed weekly claim anyway - will I lose benefits?

samething happened to me last month lol. u need to call esd asap don't wait for them to contact u!! they'll probably put a hold on ur benefits till u talk to someone

You need to call ESD immediately. This was likely an Eligibility Review Interview appointment, which is mandatory to continue receiving benefits. When you miss these appointments, they typically place your claim on hold until you contact them and reschedule. The sooner you call, the better chance you have of minimizing payment disruptions. Bring your claim ID number and the letter when you call if possible. They'll want to know exactly what type of appointment you missed.

I've been calling ESD for two days straight and keep getting disconnected!!! Anyone know a better way to reach them? I'm about to drive to their office at this point.

What your letter is describing sounds like an Eligibility Review Interview (ERI). These are random checks ESD does to verify you're still meeting eligibility requirements. Missing it won't automatically disqualify you, but they will likely put your claim on hold until you reschedule. Here's what you should do: 1. Call the ESD claims center at 800-318-6022 as soon as possible 2. Explain you just found the letter and missed the appointment unintentionally 3. Ask to reschedule the appointment 4. Continue filing your weekly claims even if payments pause Depending on your claim status, you might see a "disqualification" or "adjudication in progress" status online. Don't panic - this is normal until you reschedule the appointment and complete the interview. Most agents are understanding about these situations as long as you're proactive about fixing it.

The ESD system is RIGGED to make people fail!! They deliberately mail these notices late or send them to old addresses so they can deny benefits. I had FOUR different appointment letters last year and each one came AFTER the appointment date had already passed!!! How convenient for them! Then they blame YOU for missing appointments. It's all part of their plan to save money by denying claims on technicalities.

lol found it in your car floorboard? I once found my jury duty summons in my dogs toy basket 3 months late. thought for sure id get arrested but nothing ever happened 🤷‍♀️

Just wanted to follow up - were you able to get through to ESD and reschedule your appointment? Your payments might be on hold until you complete the interview, but they should resume (including any missed weeks) once you satisfy the requirement. Let us know how it turned out!
