One adjudication issue disappeared from pending list - is ESD actually working on my 8-week claim?

Yep. That's actually a good sign. When pending issues disappear one by one without a denial or disqualification notice, it usually means they're clearing them as they review your case. I had 5 adjudication issues and they disappeared one at a time over a 2-week period, then I got paid for all weeks on the day after the last one was cleared. The annoying part is they NEVER tell you what's happening or what each issue was about. Classic ESD communication...

This is definitely progress! The disappearing pending issue means an adjudicator has reviewed and resolved that particular item. When I went through this last year, my issues were cleared one at a time over about 10 days. Here's what happens behind the scenes: an adjudicator reviews each issue separately, and once they're satisfied with the information they have, they make a determination. If it's in your favor, the issue simply disappears. If it's not in your favor, you'll receive a formal disqualification notice explaining why and how to appeal. Since you didn't get a denial notice, that's likely positive news. Since the governor's office got involved, your claim was probably flagged for priority review. Keep checking every morning - you might see the other issues disappear soon. Once all adjudication issues are resolved, payment processing usually happens within 48 hours if all determinations were in your favor.

I'm in the same boat right now! Been waiting 7 weeks with 3 adjudication issues. Did you upload all your identity verification documents? I've heard that's the main holdup these days. I'm thinking about calling the governor's office too since nothing else has worked. Did you just call the main number on their website?

I'm glad to see some movement on your claim! One disappearing adjudication issue is definitely progress. From my experience helping people navigate the ESD system, this is how it typically works: 1. Each pending issue is assigned to an adjudicator (might be different people for different issues) 2. They review documentation and make a determination 3. If favorable, the issue simply disappears with no notification 4. If unfavorable, you receive a formal disqualification letter Since you contacted the governor's office, your claim likely got flagged for expedited review. That's usually the fastest way to get movement on a stuck claim. If you want to get updates directly, I recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have a service that gets you through to an ESD agent quickly instead of waiting on hold for hours. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 I used it when my claim was stuck and was able to get specific information about what was happening with each issue. The agent I talked to could tell me exactly which issues were resolved and which still needed review.

NOT NECESARILY A GOOD SIGN!!! I had the EXACT same thing happen in February. Issues disappeared one by one but then I got a disqualification letter 3 weeks later for "failure to provide information" even though I sent EVERYTHING they asked for. Then had to file an appeal which took ANOTHER 6 weeks!!! Don't trust ANYTHING with ESD until you actually see the money in your account!!!

this happens because the system is totally broken. each adjudicator looks at 1 issue at a time and they don't talk to each other. i had one guy tell me my identity was verified while another was still asking for proof lol. just keep calling and calling eventually you'll get someone who actually helps

the same thing happpened to me! one issue disappeared every few days. took about 2 weeks for all 6 of mine to clear and then i got paid for everything at once. hang in there!!

Update us when you get your payment! Fingers crossed it's soon. The good news is that they WILL backpay all those 8 weeks once approved. I know it doesn't help right now with your landlord situation though.
