mine is late too but i'm on standby status so i don't have to do job search i wonder if that makes a difference? anyone else on standby having delays?

UPDATE: It finally processed and I got paid. It was just a day later than normal. Thanks everyone for the reassurance and suggestions! I was getting worried for nothing. For anyone else experiencing delays, it seems like it's just taking ESD a bit longer than usual this week.

anyone know how long adjudication is taking these days??? i been waiting 7 weeks already

UPDATE: I finally got this resolved! Here's what worked for me in case anyone else is stuck in the same situation: 1. I used the instructions from @ProfileUser4 above and listed myself as the employer with "Self-Employed" after my name 2. The system initially still got stuck, so I cleared my browser cache and tried again with Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome 3. I got through the application but as predicted, my claim went to adjudication 4. I used the Claimyr service that was recommended here to reach an ESD agent (it took about 30 mins but ACTUALLY WORKED!) 5. The agent was able to update some details on my claim and told me exactly what documentation to upload for my freelance work My claim is still in adjudication but at least I'm confident everything is submitted correctly now. The agent said to expect 6-8 weeks for review but to keep filing my weekly claims in the meantime. Thanks everyone for your help with this frustrating situation!

One thing I'd suggest is checking if there are any messages in your ESD account that might have been missed. Sometimes they send requests for information that don't trigger email notifications. Also, make absolutely sure you're doing your weekly claims even while in adjudication! If you miss those, you could lose those weeks of benefits even after approval.

have u tried the message center in ur esd account? sometimes they respond there faster than phone. also try calling exactly at 8am and hit option 2 then 3 in the menu, worked for me last month

Yes, definitely inform OAH that you're awaiting documents from a public records request. You can request that they schedule the hearing with enough time for you to receive and review those documents. They're generally accommodating with this type of procedural request.\n\nIf the hearing gets scheduled before you receive your documents, you can also file for a continuance (postponement) based on waiting for essential documentation. Just be sure to file that request as soon as you get the hearing date, not at the last minute.

This is all great advice. One more thing - when you finally do get your hearing, make sure to prepare a timeline document showing all your attempts to resolve this since 2022. Judges take the \

When is your appeal hearing scheduled? Make sure you have all your documents ready at least 3 days before! And yes keep filing those weekly claims or you'll lose those weeks even if you win the appeal.

Based on the additional details you've shared, I think your strongest appeal argument would be: 1. You were laid off first (provide documentation) 2. You moved for a qualifying family reason (partner's job) 3. You've been actively looking for work in your new location Also, contact the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) directly if you don't hear about your hearing date within 3 weeks. Sometimes appeals get lost in the system. Their number is different from the regular ESD line. Be prepared for specific questions about your job search efforts in your new location. The judge will want to know you've been actively seeking work since moving.
