EDD Refund Processed - How Long Until I See the Money?

Hey everyone, I just got off the phone with EDD and they processed my refund. Has anyone else had to deal with getting a refund from them? How long did it take for the money to show up in your account? I'm hoping it won't take too long, but you never know with these government agencies. šŸ™„

Congrats on getting your refund processed! šŸŽ‰ I had to get a refund from EDD last year, and it took about 2 weeks for the money to hit my account. Hopefully yours comes through faster!

Thanks for the info! Two weeks isn't too bad, I guess. Did you have to do anything else after they said it was processed?

Nope, I just had to wait. They told me it was processed and then it showed up in my account about 2 weeks later. Just keep an eye on your bank statements!

How did you even get through to someone at EDD? I've been trying for weeks and can never get past the automated system. Any tips?

I found a way to get someone on the phone fast. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Check out this video: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

I know it sounds weird, but it's legit. I was desperate after trying for weeks. The service just automates the hold process. When an agent picks up, they connect you. Saved me hours of frustration.

Interesting... might have to try that if I can't get through soon. Thanks for the tip!

3 weeks? Amateur hour. Try 2 months and counting šŸ˜­

Yeah, multiple times. Always get the runaround. 'It's being processed' is all they say. I'm about ready to give up tbh

Pro tip: If you're still waiting after a few weeks, call them back. Sometimes refunds get 'stuck' in the system and a quick call can unstick them. Happened to me last year.

Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep that in mind if it takes too long. How long did you wait before calling back?

I waited about 3 weeks before I called. The rep I spoke to was able to push it through right away after that. Don't be afraid to be a squeaky wheel!

Here's what I know about EDD refunds based on my experience and research: ā€¢ Once processed, refunds typically take 7-14 business days to appear in your account ā€¢ The method of refund matters - direct deposit is fastest, checks take longer ā€¢ If you had multiple issues on your claim, it might take longer as they process each separately ā€¢ Always keep your confirmation number from when they say it's processed ā€¢ If it's been more than 3 weeks, definitely call back ā€¢ Make sure your address and banking info are up to date in the system ā€¢ Sometimes, refunds can be applied to outstanding overpayments without notice ā€¢ If you're really stuck, contacting your local assembly member can help speed things up Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great info! Quick question - do you know if weekends count in those 7-14 business days?

Glad it's helpful! And no, weekends don't count in the business days. It's just Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
