To answer your follow-up questions: 1. For the documentation of unsafe conditions - yes, that could qualify as good cause, especially if you have photos. Did you ever bring these concerns to your employer before quitting? ESD typically looks for evidence that you tried to resolve the situation first. 2. Regarding benefit year extensions - there aren't automatic extensions currently available like during COVID. The standard benefit duration is 26 weeks. However, there are a few options: - Training Benefits can extend UI if you enroll in approved training - Shared Work if your employer participates - In some cases, a new initial claim if you have wages not used in your first claim Based on your timeline, your most recent employment (Jan-Feb 2025) might not have been included in your base period calculation if you filed in March 2025. Your base period would likely be Q4 2023 through Q3 2024. This means those 2025 wages might be usable for a new claim, but you'd need to address the voluntary quit issue. I recommend applying for the new claim and being upfront about why you left. Upload your documentation during the application process.

dont forget u gotta keep doing job search stuff even when ur waiting for them to figure this out! my friend got denied cuz she stopped doing her activities while waiting for esd to fix her claim issues

UPDATE????? Did you hear back yet? The suspense is killing me and it's not even my claim! 😂

That's fantastic news! Congrats on the approval. Just make sure you keep doing your weekly claims and job search activities. Sometimes people get approved but forget to keep filing weekly, and that can cause payment delays.

Just a quick update on current timelines since I spoke with an ESD agent last week about my own issue. They told me that as of April 2025, the average adjudication time is 8 weeks, but can be longer if multiple issues need resolution. The agent mentioned they're still working through a backlog from the February manufacturing layoffs. One thing that might help - have your husband check if his previous employer has actually submitted the corrected dates. Sometimes employers say they'll fix something but don't follow through, and ESD won't tell you this proactively.

Unfortunately, there's no way for claimants to see if employers have responded. Only ESD can see that information. Your best bet is to call ESD again and specifically ask: 1) Has the employer submitted the corrected information? 2) Is there anything else holding up the claim? 3) Can they provide an estimated timeline for resolution? Be sure to get the agent's name and ID number for your records. Sometimes making note of this information (and mentioning you're keeping detailed records of all communications) can motivate them to be more thorough.

btw make sure ur still doing ur weekly claims even while waiting!!! my friend messed up and stopped filing while waiting for her issue to get fixed and then had to start a whole new claim!!!

Just to follow up on this thread - it's been about 2 weeks since you contacted the Governor's office. Have you received any response or seen any movement on your claim? The typical timeframe would be 7-14 business days for some kind of action.

i had this same prob and it turned out they needed wage verification from my last employer but nobody told me until i talked to somebody

Good to hear you finally got through and discovered the issue. For identity verification, make sure you upload clear, readable copies of: 1. Government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) 2. Social Security card 3. Birth certificate (if you have it) Submit multiple forms of ID if possible, not just the minimum. This increases your chances of quick verification. Also, continue to file your weekly claims while waiting - if approved, you'll receive all back payments for properly filed weeks. After uploading documents, I recommend calling back within 5-7 business days to confirm receipt and ask if anything else is needed. Sometimes a second set of documents is required if the first submission was unclear or incomplete.
