Weekly claim still 'processing' since Sunday - ESD says no issues on my account?

yep same here! filed on sunday night like always but still processing. usually hits my account by wednesday morning but nothing yet.

This is happening to a lot of people right now. ESD is experiencing delays with their payment processing system. Their website doesn't show it, but an agent told me yesterday they're dealing with a backlog after updating their payment verification protocol. Most claims from Sunday should process by tomorrow, but some might take until early next week. If your claim doesn't go through by next Tuesday, then you should call back. The "no issues" response just means your claim itself doesn't have any problems requiring adjudication.

i had this issue last month took 3 extra days but money showed up eventually!! dont worry too much ESD systems are always glitchy

This seems to be happening every few months now. ESD's antiquated systems can't handle their workload, especially when they do updates. I've been through the unemployment system THREE times in the past four years, and each time there's some new problem. The fact that the agents themselves often don't know about system-wide issues is the most infuriating part. One thing I've learned: ALWAYS file your weekly claim as early as possible on Sunday. Claims filed later in the day seem to get stuck more often when they have processing delays.

Are you on regular UI or is this a PUA claim? Because the processing times can be different. My partner is on regular UI and her payment just went through this morning, but mine is still processing (I'm on extended benefits after exhausting regular UI).

This happens periodically when ESD updates their payment processing systems. As a former ESD employee (I left in 2023), I can tell you that agents often don't receive timely information about these technical delays, which is why you were told there are "no issues." From their perspective, your claim is clean - no flags, no adjudication needed, no eligibility problems. The current delay is system-wide and affects thousands of claimants who filed on Sunday. Most payments should process by Friday, though some may roll into early next week. This doesn't affect your eligibility or future payments. If you need emergency funds while waiting, consider: 1. Contacting your local WorkSource office - some have emergency assistance programs 2. Checking with 211 for rent assistance programs 3. If your claim doesn't process by Monday, call ESD again and specifically ask about "emergency hardship acceleration" - not all agents know about this option, but it exists for people at risk of eviction due to payment delays
