Will ESD stop payments due to new adjudication while laid off again?

In my experience, adjudication doesn't automatically stop all payments, but it depends on the specific issue. If the adjudication is only related to that specific week in question, they should continue paying for new weeks while they investigate the earlier claim. He needs to keep filing his weekly claims as normal even with the adjudication open. Make sure he accurately reports his new completely laid-off status on the next weekly filing.

omg when this happened to me last year my payments stopped for 6 WEEKS while they investigated!!! call them ASAP!!!

Had something similar happen in January. My advice is DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Take screenshots of every earnings report you submitted, every notification, etc. They might request proof later and having it ready speeds things up. Also when was he notified about the adjudication? There should be a letter explaining exactly what they're investigating.

The answer is: it depends on the type of adjudication. Some issues will hold up all payments, while others only affect the week in question. Your husband should: 1. Continue filing weekly claims accurately 2. Check his eServices account for any messages about what specific issue they're investigating 3. Respond immediately to any information requests from ESD 4. Be prepared with documentation showing his income was correctly reported If it's a simple verification issue and he reported everything correctly, they may continue paying while investigating. If it's a more serious eligibility question, they might pause payments until resolved.

My best advice after going through this TWICE is to try calling ESD directly. Their automated system is useless but if you can get through to a real person they can often tell you exactly what the adjudication is about and whether payments will continue. It's impossible to get through though - I spent 3 days calling repeatedly before connecting with someone who could actually help.

I work in HR and deal with this stuff frequently. There's a difference between a "potential overpayment investigation" and a "benefit eligibility investigation." If it's just about a specific week's earnings calculation, they usually keep paying while they sort it out. If it questions his overall eligibility, they might pause everything. Look for the specific issue code on his account - anything starting with UCFE means federal employment verification, which doesn't usually stop payments. Anything with AVAIL or ABLE in the code could mean a more serious issue that might pause payments.

this happened to me and i couldnt pay rent for 2 months. esd is the WORST!!! they made me pay back $4000 even tho it was THEIR mistake not mine!!!

UPDATE: We finally got through to ESD this morning! They said the adjudication is only about that specific week where they think his hours might have been misreported (they weren't - we have documentation). The good news is they confirmed payments WILL continue for his current weekly claims while they investigate the past week! Such a relief. Also thanks to those who suggested documentation - we're gathering everything now just in case. Will update again once this is fully resolved.

made sure 2 save all ur paystubs and stuff!! my friend had 2 wait 8 weeks for them to figure everything out even tho she did nothing wrong!!!
