One more thing I forgot to mention - while you're waiting for adjudication, make sure you're keeping detailed records of your job search activities. ESD requires 3 job search activities each week. Even though your claim is pending, if it eventually gets approved, they'll check that you were doing job searches the whole time. I almost got disqualified because I wasn't documenting properly during my waiting period. Also, regarding your documentation for the wrongful termination - did you submit a detailed fact-finding response? Sometimes there's a questionnaire that appears in your eServices account that isn't obvious unless you check all tabs.

I work with unemployment cases professionally, and here's what I recommend for your situation: 1. For contacting the Governor's office, use their online form as others have mentioned, but also call their constituent services line directly at 360-902-4111. Ask specifically for help with an ESD escalation. 2. For wrongful termination cases involving attendance issues, ESD looks at several factors: - Was the attendance policy reasonable and consistently applied? - Were you given clear warnings according to company policy? - Did the employer accommodate any medical issues if applicable? - Did you follow proper call-in procedures? 3. While waiting, apply for hardship assistance through your utility companies and rental assistance programs in your county. Most counties have emergency rental assistance that can help prevent eviction while your unemployment claim is processing. 4. For the fastest contact with ESD, try calling their special claims center line at 7:55am when they first open. If that doesn't work, services like Claimyr can help get through the phone maze. Don't lose hope. If your termination was truly improper as you've described, you have a good chance of approval.

Not jury duty but I had something similar with a temporary gig. I estimated my earnings and was off by like $12. They put me in adjudication but it was actually resolved pretty fast - like 10 days. As long as you keep answering their questions and filing your claims you should be fine. The fact that YOU contacted THEM about it is hugely in your favor! They're not going after you for fraud over pennies when you literally tried to fix it yourself.

UPDATE: Just wanted to let everyone know that my adjudication was resolved yesterday! They adjusted my payment by the 75 cents and everything is back to normal. Thanks for all the reassurance and advice - especially about continuing to file my weekly claims during the process. For anyone finding this thread later, it took exactly 18 days for them to resolve my case.

did they tell u why it was held up for 6 weeks in the first place? thats a crazy long time

If Monday comes and your status hasn't changed, when you call back, ask specifically about the "payment release date" - that's the technical term ESD uses internally. Sometimes the issues can be cleared but the payment needs to be manually released by a different department. Asking about the payment release date will get you more specific information.

my friend went thru this last month and his landlord was gonna evict him but he showed him the pending esd stuff and the landlord gave him an extra 2 weeks. worth trying to talk to your landlord maybe?

To follow up on your ERPP question - the Eviction Resolution Pilot Program requires landlords to notify tenants about the program before filing an eviction. They must offer mediation/dispute resolution services. Here's what you should do: 1. Document your financial hardship (screenshots of your ESD pending status) 2. Respond to any eviction notices immediately (in writing) 3. Ask for a reasonable payment plan while waiting for benefits 4. Contact a Housing Justice Project clinic in your county for free legal advice Most importantly, stay in communication with your landlord. Many are willing to work with tenants who are proactive and transparent about unemployment benefit delays. Make sure to provide documentation showing you've applied and are waiting for benefits.

One more important tip: While waiting for your appeal or correction, make sure you're meeting the job search requirements each week (3 job search activities). Document everything carefully in your job search log. Even though your claims show as disqualified now, if the disqualification is overturned, they'll check that you were meeting all other requirements during that time.

update us when u get through to someone! im having similar problems and want to know if that claimyr thing actually works
