Should I keep filing weekly claims after getting a job but still waiting for ESD adjudication back pay?

congrats on the new job! you should def keep filing and reporting ur earnings until they pay u for the weeks ur owed. dont stop filing or they might think ur not interested in those weeks anymore

You absolutely need to continue filing your weekly claims while reporting your new earnings, even though you're now employed. Here's why: 1. Those weeks in adjudication won't automatically process without continued weekly claims 2. Weekly claims serve as your official request for payment for each specific week 3. If you stop filing, ESD may consider it as you no longer being interested in benefits for those weeks Keep reporting your hours and earnings accurately. Once your adjudication is complete and back payments are processed, then you can stop filing if your earnings consistently exceed your benefit amount. But until then, continue the weekly process!

Back in 2022 I was in the same boat - claim stuck in adjudication for 9 weeks then got a job. I stopped filing because I thought I should, and I NEVER got my backpay for those weeks! When I finally got through to an agent (after like 3 weeks of calling), they told me I should have kept filing! Had to go through a whole appeals process to get my money. Don't make my mistake!! BTW I finally got through to ESD using Claimyr (claimyr.com) - you can see a demo at https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 - saved me literal days of redialing. They got me connected to an agent in like 25 minutes when I'd been trying for weeks on my own. The agent was able to explain exactly what I needed to do to appeal for my back weeks.

THIS IS WHY THE ESD SYSTEM IS SO BROKEN!!! They make the rules so confusing that regular people have no idea what to do!! Why isn't this clearly explained ANYWHERE on their website?? I had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM last year and ended up having to get my state representative involved because I stopped filing after getting a job and lost out on 5 weeks of benefits that I was entitled to!!! The entire system needs to be completely rebuilt from scratch!!!

So does this mean we're supposed to keep filing weekly claims forever, even after getting a full-time job? That doesn't sound right to me... What if your adjudication takes months? My sister had adjudication that took 3 months to resolve!

To clarify a technical point: When you report your new employment and earnings on your weekly claim, you're doing exactly what you're supposed to do. The ESD system is designed to handle this situation. Each week you file, the system compares your reported earnings against your weekly benefit amount: - If you earn less than your weekly benefit, you'll receive a partial payment - If you earn more than your weekly benefit, you'll receive $0 for that week, but the claim stays active - After 4-5 consecutive weeks of reporting earnings that exceed your benefit amount, ESD typically stops prompting you to file For weeks already in adjudication, keep filing until those are resolved and paid. This maintains your claim's active status while they review the earlier weeks.

wait im confused... what happens if u get a job but only work part time? do u still qualify for partial benefits or does having any job at all make u ineligible? im in adjudication now but might get a part time position soon

my roomate stopped filing after he got a job and ESD never paid his back weeks even tho they were approved. took him months to get it sorted out. def keep filing!!
