EDD SDI payment delayed after Veterans Day - anyone else missing direct deposit?

Yes! Same thing happened to me this morning. I was expecting my payment to show up today but nothing's there. Every other payment has been on time since I started my disability claim in September. I'm guessing it's definitely related to the Veterans Day holiday delaying the bank processing. Most federal holidays push everything back by one business day.

this happenz with every holiday my sister works at a bank and she says ACH transfers get delayed by govmt holidays even tho the money is sent on time from EDD they cant process til banks open again

I've been on disability for 6 months now for my back surgery and I notice EVERY single holiday messes up the payment schedule! It's so frustrating because they never warn you about it and then you're sitting there wondering where your money is. And good luck trying to call EDD to ask about it - I spent 3 HOURS last month trying to get through to someone about a missing payment only to find out it was delayed because of Labor Day. THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!

my payment is missing too but i didnt even think about veterans day being the reason!! makes sense now, thanks for posting this question

If you need to contact EDD about your payment or any other issues with your disability claim, I highly recommend using Claimyr. I was in a similar situation last month with a delayed payment and was getting really worried. I tried calling EDD directly but kept getting disconnected or stuck on hold forever. Then I found this service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that got me connected to an actual EDD representative in less than 10 minutes! They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd. The agent I spoke with confirmed my payment was processed but delayed due to the holiday. Saved me hours of stress and waiting.

EDD Disability payment advisor here - this is normal for any federal holiday. The payment processing system EDD uses doesn't run on federal holidays, so payments that would normally be processed or deposited on the holiday (or sometimes the day after) get delayed by one business day. For Veterans Day falling on a Tuesday this year, payments would typically resume normal processing on Wednesday. You should see deposits hit accounts by Thursday morning at the latest for most banks. If you don't see your payment by Thursday afternoon, then I would recommend contacting EDD directly as there might be a different issue with your claim or certification.

My brother had same thing happen with his unemployment last year after a holiday too. All government stuff seems to run a day behind after holidays. Regular companies don't have these problems, only the government lol

UPDATE: My payment finally posted this morning! It was definitely the holiday delay. Thanks everyone for your help and reassurance!
