Direct deposit issue with EDD - payment missing or wrong account?

Hey everyone, I'm having some issues with my direct deposit. Has anyone else experienced problems with their payments not showing up or going to the wrong account? It's really stressing me out and I could use some advice on how to fix this.

Ugh, I've been there. It's such a pain when your money doesn't show up where it's supposed to. Have you double-checked your bank account info on file? Sometimes a tiny typo can mess everything up.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely double-check my info. It's just so frustrating when you're counting on that money to come through 😫

Pro tip: take a screenshot of your bank info everytime you update it. Saved my butt when they tried to say I gave them the wrong account number 🙄

I had a similar issue last month. Turns out there was a glitch in their system affecting a bunch of people. Have you tried calling the helpline? It took forever, but they eventually sorted it out for me.

Oof, calling them sounds like a nightmare. How long were you on hold?

Honestly? Like 3 hours 💀 But it was worth it to get my money

Hey guys, I actually found a way to get through to someone on the phone without the crazy wait times. I used this site called claimyr.com - it's a calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then connects you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it saved me hours of frustration. Here's a video about how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

20 bucks to skip the hold time? Idk man, seems kinda sketchy 🤔

I get the skepticism, but it seriously worked for me. The time I saved was worth way more than $20. Just sharing what helped me out 🤷‍♂️

Have you checked if there's any maintenance or updates scheduled for the direct deposit system? Sometimes they do these things without proper notice and it messes everything up for a few days.

OMG I'm dealing with the exact same thing rn!!! It's so annoying. Like, don't they realize we need this money to live??? 😤

Here's what you need to do: 1. First, log into your account and screenshot your current bank info. Make sure it's correct. 2. Call the helpline (I know, it sucks) and ask them to verify the info they have on file. 3. If there's a discrepancy, ask them to update it immediately. 4. Request a trace on your missing payment. They can usually tell you if it was sent out and where it went. 5. If it was sent to the wrong account, they'll need to recall it. This can take 5-10 business days. 6. In the meantime, ask if they can issue you a paper check for any upcoming payments until the direct deposit issue is resolved. 7. Keep a record of every conversation - date, time, representative name, and what was discussed. 8. If you're really in a bind, ask about hardship assistance. Some agencies have emergency funds for situations like this. Hope this helps! Hang in there, it's a pain but it'll get sorted out eventually.
