A stop payment indicator is placed on a claim to prevent payment. This may be related to a variety of reasons such something dealing with fraud/identity theft or something that may be pending on the claim that needs further review or investigation.

What do I do if I get a stop payment indicator?

If you received a "Stop Payment" notice on your account, detailed instructions have been emailed and mailed to you on how to submit additional identifying information in order to receive your benefits. There is no reason to take further action until you receive the instructions.

What does pending payment mean on unemployment?

If your payment shows as “pending,” this means we are still processing it, and there is nothing more you need to do. If you received a confirmation number, rest assured your claim is in process, and you will receive the full amount to which you are entitled.
