Must I appeal EACH disqualified week separately with ESD or file one appeal?

same thing happend to me last month!! all 3 of my weeks were disqualified becuz they said i didnt do enough job searches. i called them about it and they told me i needed to appeal each week separately which is total BS if u ask me

You need to look carefully at the disqualification notices to see if they all have the SAME disqualification reason. If they do (like failing to complete job search activities or availability issues), then you can typically file ONE appeal that references ALL the affected weeks. Make sure to list each week's date range in your appeal letter. However, if there are DIFFERENT reasons for disqualification across different weeks, you'll need separate appeals for each reason type. The important thing is to get your first appeal filed before the deadline passes, and make sure to keep filing your weekly claims during the appeal process!

I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN!!! All my weeks were disqualified because they said I didn't respond to some fact-finding questionnaire that I NEVER received in the first place! The ESD system is completely broken and they make everything as difficult as possible so people give up. I filed separate appeals for each week because I was afraid of missing something and it took FOREVER to get resolved. 10 weeks of waiting and they finally fixed it, but I had to fight like crazy.

I recommend filing a separate appeal for each disqualified week. While it seems redundant, each weekly claim is technically a separate decision by ESD. Here's what to do: 1. File your first appeal ASAP before the deadline expires 2. Use the exact same reason/explanation for each appeal if all disqualifications are for the same issue 3. Reference your other appeals in each form 4. KEEP FILING your weekly claims even while appealing 5. If you haven't already, try to speak with an ESD agent who might be able to resolve this without the appeal process I've seen cases where some people filed one appeal for multiple weeks and it worked, but I've also seen cases where ESD only processed the appeal for the specified week. Better safe than sorry.

my cousin works for WorkSource and she said always file separate appeals because ESD processes each week individually. something about their computer system being really old and not connecting things properly. good luck!

Just to follow up - as others have mentioned, filing separate appeals is the safest approach. But make sure you understand WHY you were disqualified in the first place. Common reasons include: - Not completing required job search activities (must do 3 per week) - Availability issues (saying you weren't available for work) - Unreported earnings - Separation issues (how you left your previous job) If you can address the underlying issue, you might be able to get this resolved faster than going through the entire appeal process. For example, if it's about job search activities and you actually did them but didn't report properly, you might be able to submit that documentation directly.

u gotta keep filing claims even when ur appealing! dont forget that part its super important

UPDATE: I spoke with an ESD agent this morning after using that Claimyr service someone mentioned. The agent explained that in my case, all my weeks were disqualified for the same reason - apparently checking 'no' to a question about being physically able to work (which I don't remember doing). The agent said I should file ONE appeal for the earliest disqualified week and explicitly mention that I'm appealing ALL weeks with the same disqualification reason. She said to list every disqualified week by date in my appeal letter. She also put a note in my file about this conversation. So it seems like there might be different processes depending on your specific situation. The key is reaching an actual agent who can give you guidance for your particular case. Thanks everyone for your help!
