Missing weekly claim filing option on ESD website - link disappeared

Same thing happened to me last month!! The link just disappeared for no reason. check if there's any alerts or messages in ur eservices inbox. Mine was bc they flagged something for 'identity verification' and froze my ability to file until I uploaded docs.

This typically happens for one of four reasons: 1. Your claim year expired (but you said that's not it) 2. You have an unresolved issue requiring adjudication 3. You missed filing for a previous week 4. System maintenance (though they usually announce this) Check if you received any notices about needed information or if you accidentally missed filing last week. If you skipped a week without a good reason, you may need to reopen your claim.

sounds like ur claim is on hold til adjudication is complete. mine was like this for THREE WEEKS after they questioned one of my job contacts. the phone system won't let u file AND the website option disappears when they put a hold on ur claim. u need to talk to an actual person at ESD

I had this EXACT problem in February! The weekly claim link just vanished after an adjudicator contacted me. I tried calling for DAYS and couldn't get through. I finally used Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an ESD agent. They have this service that connects you with an actual ESD person instead of waiting forever or getting hung up on. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 When I finally got through, the agent told me my claim was on temporary hold pending the adjudicator's decision, but they were able to manually take my weekly claim over the phone so I wouldn't miss getting paid.

Based on my experience working with claimants, your situation sounds like what happens when there's a pending adjudication issue. The adjudicator you spoke with may have placed a temporary hold while they review your job search activities, even if they verbally said everything was fine. Here's what you should do: 1. Try accessing the weekly claim system again tomorrow (sometimes it's just maintenance) 2. Check your Secure Message Center for any new correspondence 3. If you still can't file by Tuesday, you need to speak with an agent And yes, if this is due to adjudication, they will allow you to backfile for any missed weeks once the issue is resolved. Just be sure to keep documenting your job search activities during this time.

The ESD website was doing some scheduled maintenance yesterday according to their Twitter. Have you checked again today? Sometimes the weekly claim link doesn't appear until exactly midnight on Sunday, and other times it's delayed until Monday morning if they're doing backend updates. This happened to me twice and I panicked both times lol

UPDATE?? did u get this fixed? im curious if it was just maintenance or something else

That's good news! Make sure to keep detailed records of all your job search activities while this is being resolved. For your job search log, include: - Full company name and contact info - Position applied for - Date of application/contact - Method of application (online, in-person, etc.) - Any follow-up actions Having complete documentation will help prevent future holds. And remember, you need 3 job search activities per week - mixing up the types of activities (applications, workshops, networking) can help strengthen your claim.
