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.
