EDD SDI payment delayed - scheduled direct deposit never arrived

This happened to me last month! The EDD website showed paid but the money took an extra 4 days to hit my account. Apparently there was some kind of processing delay at their end, not with my bank. I would keep checking your account daily. If it doesn't show up by tomorrow (a full business week), then you should definitely keep trying to contact them.

mine was late 2!! but only by 2 days. stupid edd cant even do direct deposit right lol

SAME ISSUE HERE!!! My payment from LAST WEEK is still MIA!!! The EDD website says it was issued but NOTHING in my account. I've called 50+ times and either get hung up on or told the queue is full. This is RIDICULOUS! I have medical bills piling up from my surgery and now I'm getting late fees because EDD can't get their act together. Does anyone know if there's a system-wide delay happening??

I once had a payment take 9 days to appear! I was freaking out but then boom, it just showed up. Sometimes I wonder if they delay payments on purpose just to earn extra interest on the money or something...

After trying for THREE DAYS to reach someone at EDD about my late payment, I finally got through using Claimyr.com - it's this service that connects you to an EDD representative. They have a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd. I was skeptical but desperate, and I got connected to an agent in about 25 minutes instead of trying to call repeatedly all day. The agent confirmed there was a system delay affecting some direct deposits but that my payment was processing correctly.

when i was on disability last month i got a paper check instead of direct deposit for some reason even tho id been getting direct deposit before that. maybe check ur mail?

Just to clarify for everyone in this thread: When EDD SDI shows a payment as 'paid,' that means it has been processed on their end, but it still needs to go through the ACH (Automated Clearing House) system to reach your bank. This typically takes 1-3 business days, but occasionally can take longer due to various factors: 1. Bank holidays or weekends can add delays 2. Periodic EDD system maintenance or updates 3. First-time payments sometimes take longer than subsequent ones 4. Issues with account information can cause temporary holds If your payment doesn't arrive within 7 business days of showing 'paid' status, that's when you should escalate the issue. Request a payment tracer when you speak with a representative, and they can determine exactly where the payment is in the process.

Have you checked if there's been any changes to your claim status? Sometimes a payment delay happens because they're reviewing your certification or medical documentation. When I was on pregnancy disability, one of my payments was delayed because they were doing a random quarterly review of my claim. The website still showed 'paid' but the money was actually on hold. Might be worth checking your claim details thoroughly or asking specifically about any reviews when you get through to someone.

UPDATE: My payment finally hit my account this morning! No explanation for the delay, it just showed up. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. Seems like these random delays do happen occasionally with SDI payments.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now! My SDI payment was supposed to arrive on Tuesday and it's now Friday with nothing in my account. The EDD website shows "paid" but my bank account is still empty. I've been calling non-stop but can't get through to anyone. Reading through all these comments is actually really helpful - sounds like these delays happen more often than I thought. I'm going to wait until Monday (which would be day 7) and if it's still not there, I'll try that Claimyr service that was mentioned. It's so stressful when you're depending on this money and it just doesn't show up when it's supposed to. Thanks for posting this - at least now I know I'm not the only one dealing with this issue!

I'm dealing with this exact same situation right now! My SDI payment was supposed to arrive yesterday and it's still not in my account, even though the EDD portal shows "paid." This is so frustrating because I have a doctor's appointment on Monday that I need to pay for out of pocket before insurance reimburses me. Reading through everyone's experiences here is actually really reassuring though - it sounds like these delays are more common than I realized and most people get their money within a week. I'm going to give it until early next week before I start panicking, but it's good to know about that Claimyr service as a backup option if I can't get through on the phone. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences - it really helps to know we're not alone in dealing with these payment hiccups!

I'm experiencing the same delay right now - my SDI payment was supposed to arrive on Wednesday but it's Friday and still nothing in my account. The EDD website shows "paid" status just like everyone else here is describing. This is incredibly stressful because I have rent due next Tuesday and was counting on this payment. It's somewhat comforting to read all these experiences showing that delays of 5-7 days seem to be somewhat normal, even though it's frustrating that EDD doesn't give any warning about potential delays. I'm going to wait through the weekend and see if it shows up by Monday before I try calling or using that Claimyr service. Thanks everyone for sharing - it really helps to know this isn't just happening to me!

I'm going through this exact same issue right now! My SDI payment was scheduled for Tuesday but it's now Friday and still hasn't hit my account. The EDD portal shows "paid" just like everyone else is describing. I've been calling EDD all week but can't get through to anyone - just get the "all representatives are busy" message and then it hangs up. Reading through all these comments has been really helpful though - it sounds like these 5-7 day delays are more common than I thought with SDI payments. I'm going to give it until Monday (which would be day 6 for me) before I try that Claimyr service that was mentioned. It's so stressful when you're depending on this money for basic expenses and it just doesn't show up when it's supposed to. Thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences - it really helps to know I'm not dealing with this alone!
