Reply to comment by Spork_Facepunch in Months since unemployment weekly claims have been filed, still no response as to when I will actually be paid by SnooMemesjellies7591

As you can see from these screenshots on the ESD website we discussed, https://imgur.io/a/iuXikgi?s=fbm, there is no way of filing the claims online. It might be because they changed the system after covid. The only option was to file by phone or by fax. I did both. And I filed the claims every week by the stated deadlines. 1) I got confirmation that the job logs were received. But it is not showing up in my system that I should be paid. 2) They didn't say there was any problem and continuously dodged my questions on when I would receive the claim payout. And abruptly hung up on me. I was continuously put on hold and could not get in touch again.

That's completely untrue. You can and should file online. It has been possible for decades and is possible now. Nothing changed during covid. If you aren't seeing the option to do so, you're doing something wrong or there is a problem with your claim. I say this with 100% certainty and with first hand experience.

Update: after complaining again to ESD, they are finally depositing the last 3 weeks of benefits to me. Its still better than nothing. For the 12 weeks before that, I have to wait for my appeal hearing. My appeal is just trying to be paid for the weeks from Sep 11 to Nov 19 that I had submitted valid claims for but was never paid, and my claim year is from Sep 4 so the week of Sep 4 doesn’t count. Do you have tips on how to win this appeal?
