Will ESD continue payments while new employment hours are in adjudication?

same thing happend to me last month!! they stopped my payments for 3 weeks while in adjudication even tho i reported everyting correct. ESD is such a mess!!

Unfortunately, when your claim goes into adjudication, payments are typically paused until the issue is resolved. The ESD system automatically puts a hold on benefits while they investigate any new information that might affect your eligibility. In your case, they're probably verifying your new part-time hours with your employer. Make sure you've entered your employer's correct contact information so they can reach them quickly for verification.

When you have new employment hours, ESD needs to verify this information with your new employer. This typically takes 2-3 weeks, but can take longer if they have trouble reaching your employer. While your claim is under review, keep filing your weekly claims as normal, reporting all hours and earnings accurately. This ensures you'll receive all eligible payments once adjudication is complete (with back pay if approved). Also, contact your employer's HR department to make sure they're responding to ESD's verification requests promptly - this can significantly speed up the process.

Honestly getting through to ESD directly is your best bet right now. When I was in a similar situation (different adjudication reason though), I got it resolved in just a few days after speaking with an actual agent. I tried calling for days but kept getting the "high call volume" message until I found this service called Claimyr that got me through to an ESD agent in about 20 minutes. Their site is claimyr.com and they have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/7DieNd3C7zQ?si=26TzE_zGms-DODN3 The agent I spoke with was able to look at my specific case and tell me exactly what was happening. In some cases they can even resolve simple issues on the spot. Worth trying since you're in a time crunch with rent coming up.

have u checked ur eServices account to see if theres a letter explaining the adjudication? sometimes they tell u exactly what they need and u can upload documents right there instead of waiting for them to call. just sayin cuz i waited 2 weeks for a call then found out i could have just uploaded my paystubs the whole time lol

This happens ALL THE TIME with ESD!! And it's not just the missing hours thing. They put EVERYTHING in adjudication these days. My neighbor got put in adjudication because his birthday was entered wrong on some form. Like HOW is that even a reason to stop someone's benefits??

Quick update on timing expectations: For "employment hours missing" adjudications specifically, these are currently taking approximately 10-14 days to resolve if all information is readily available. This is faster than many other types of adjudication issues. Make sure to check your ESD Secure Message Center daily, as they often request additional information there rather than by phone. Also, if you're experiencing a financial hardship (like potential eviction), be sure to mention this when you speak with an agent. In some cases, they can flag your claim for expedited review under hardship provisions.

After you get this resolved, I'd recommend keeping detailed records of your work hours and pay stubs for at least 5 weeks after starting any new job. Take photos of schedules and save all communications about your hours. Having this documentation ready can help if you need to request an expedited adjudication review. And remember that once this is sorted out, you'll likely receive backpay for any weeks that were eligible during the adjudication period.

I just went through this EXACT situation last month!!! Here's what happened: I got a part-time job at a restaurant, reported my hours, and boom - adjudication. My payments stopped for 2 weeks, then suddenly started again BEFORE the adjudication was even resolved! The ESD agent I finally reached told me sometimes they'll restart payments if initial verification looks good, even before final determination. So don't lose hope - it might not be the full 3 weeks without pay!
