Weekly claim option disappeared from ESD account - can't file this week

I had this exact same problem two weeks ago! The weekly claim button just vanished. Turns out ESD was doing some system maintenance that wasn't announced anywhere on their site. The option came back around 5pm that same day. Maybe check again later today? If it's still gone tomorrow, you definitely need to contact them directly. This could also happen if there's an issue with your claim that requires attention before you can file again.

This happened to me last month. There are a few possible reasons: 1. System maintenance (usually resolves within 24 hours) 2. Your benefit year ended and you need to reapply 3. There's a new issue on your claim requiring adjudication 4. You missed filing for one or more weeks 5. You've exhausted your benefits I'd recommend checking your notices/letters in your ESD account to see if they sent you anything explaining the situation. If the option doesn't return by tomorrow, you'll need to contact ESD.

its hapening to everybody i think. my friend said the same thing hapened to him today. ESD always doing this kind of stuff without warning anybody. so tired of this system

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies? Sometimes the ESD website has weird technical glitches that can be fixed by doing that. Also try using a different browser altogether. Internet Explorer sometimes works better with their system than Chrome or Firefox (weird, I know).

I've been on unemployment since February and this has happened to me TWICE now. Once it was because they flagged my identity for additional verification (even though I'd already done it), and the second time was because they thought I had returned to work (I hadn't). Both times I couldn't file and the button disappeared. The ONLY way I got it resolved was by actually getting through to an ESD agent on the phone. I spent literally days trying to get through until I found Claimyr (claimyr.com). They have a system that holds your place in line and calls you when an agent is available. Saved me so much frustration! There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 Seriously, don't waste days trying to call them directly like I did.

Sometimes this happens if your claim requires additional information. Check if you have any alerts or tasks on your account. Another possibility is that they're processing a change to your claim status that you're not aware of yet. When this happened to me, I received a letter in the mail two days AFTER the weekly filing option disappeared.

UPDATE: The weekly claim option is back now! Looks like it was just temporary maintenance as some of you suggested. I was able to file my claim without any issues. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!
