Second ESD pending issue still showing after first one cleared - normal?

They usally do them seperate. Each issue gets looked at by differnt people in ESD so one might get done before the other one. I had 3 issues last year and they all got fixed like 2 weeks apart from eachother. Just keep filing your weekly claims and eventually they'll fix the other issue.

In my experience, each issue is handled separately by different adjudicators. The system is designed to flag potential eligibility issues, and each one requires its own investigation. Having one resolved is actually a good sign - it means they're actively working on your claim. The second issue might take more time depending on its complexity and what verification they need. You should eventually receive backpay for all eligible weeks once both issues are resolved, assuming you've been filing your weekly claims consistently.

had same thing happen!! first issue disappeared aftr 3 weeks, second one took ANOTHER 6 weeks!! no reason why, no explanation, just suddenly got a deposit for like $4200 one day. ESD is seriously broken system, they dont even tell u whats going on half the time

The timing depends on what the issues are. Some pending issues are simple identity verification while others might be investigating separation reasons, availability for work, or past earnings. They each go through different departments. If you want to get more information about your specific issues, I highly recommend using Claimyr (claimyr.com) to get through to an ESD agent. I was in a similar situation last month and was going crazy not knowing what was happening. Used their service and got through to an agent in about 20 minutes who explained exactly what was holding up my claim and how long it would likely take. They have a video demo of how it works here: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3. Definitely worth it considering how impossible it is to get through otherwise.

I had a similar experience. Each issue is assessed independently. It might be that the first issue was easier to resolve or was assigned to an adjudicator with a lighter caseload. The fact that one issue has been cleared is a positive sign though. Keep checking your online account for any messages requesting information for the remaining issue. One thing to keep in mind is that when they do eventually resolve the second issue, they'll likely review all the weeks that were held pending and release payments for eligible weeks. This often results in a lump sum payment, so be prepared for that possibility.

My sister works for ESD (not in claims processing though) and she said they're SUPER backed up right now because of some new system they implemented in December that's still having bugs. They've got claims from January that they're just now getting to. So one issue clearing is actually really good progress! She said if you can't wait, calling right when they open at 8am is your best bet to actually get through.

I'm on week 8 of waiting for BOTH of my pending issues to be resolved so consider yourself lucky that one went away already!!! This whole system is designed to make people give up. I've called 47 times in the past month. FORTY SEVEN TIMES. And not once has a human picked up. It's absolute garbage.

UPDATE: The second pending issue just disappeared this morning! Looks like they were processed about 3 days apart. No payments showing yet but hopefully they'll come through soon. Thanks everyone for the advice and sharing your experiences!
