EDD SDI payment schedule changed after manual payment - Tuesday vs Wednesday?

i had something similar happen last month!! my payments were always on mondays then after they fixed somthing manually it switched to tuesdays for the rest of my claim. think it resets the cycle when they do manual stuff

When EDD processes a manual payment, it often resets your regular payment cycle. The system typically runs payments in batches on specific days, and a manual intervention can place you in a different batch than you were originally in. It's normal for your regular payment day to shift after such an intervention. Your new payment day (Wednesday in your case) should remain consistent for the remainder of your claim period unless there's another manual intervention. The notification typically appears the day before the payment is issued.

Hey there! I had major trouble getting through to EDD about a similar payment schedule issue. After trying for days, I used Claimyr (claimyr.com) and got connected to an agent in about 20 minutes. They confirmed my payment had been rescheduled to a different weekday after the manual adjustment and would stay on that day going forward. Saved me so much time and stress! There's a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd

wait but doesnt tht mean ur getting paid an extra day for that period? like if u were supposed to get paid tuesday but now wedsnday, sounds like ur getting an extra day each time? or am i missing something

This is completely normal after a manual payment adjustment. I worked as an EDD specialist for 5 years, and the payment schedule shifting is expected after manual interventions. The payment batches run on different days of the week, and manual processing often puts you into a different batch. The good news is that your new payment day (Wednesday) should remain consistent for the rest of your claim unless another manual adjustment happens. If you certified on Sunday as usual, you should expect payments on Wednesday going forward. The notification usually appears in your account the day before payment is issued. If you don't see your payment by Thursday, then you should contact EDD as there might be another issue.

I'm going through the exact same thing but with PFL! My first few payments came on Mondays, then they had to fix something and now they come on Thursdays?! It's so frustrating when you're trying to pay bills on time. I wonder if this is just how the system works or if there's actually something wrong with our claims...

My brother's disability payments changed days after they fixed something on his claim too! The EDD system is so confusing sometimes. Did you ever figure out if the Wednesday thing is permanent?

This exact same thing happened to me earlier this year! I was getting my SDI payments on Fridays, then after EDD had to manually process a missed payment, my schedule permanently shifted to Mondays. It's been consistent on Mondays ever since (about 6 months now). The rep I eventually got through to explained that when they do manual processing, it basically puts you in a different payment batch cycle. It's annoying for budgeting at first, but once you know your new day, it stays reliable. Sounds like Wednesday is going to be your new regular payment day going forward.

I'm dealing with a similar situation right now! My SDI payments were coming on Thursdays for the first month, then EDD had to do some kind of manual correction on my claim and now I haven't received anything for over a week. I'm not sure if my payment day shifted or if there's still an issue with my claim. Did you get any kind of notification when your payment day officially changed, or did you just have to figure it out by waiting to see when the next payment came through? I'm trying to decide if I should call them or just wait a bit longer to see if it shows up on a different day.

I'm in the same boat right now! My SDI payments were always on Tuesdays for the first 3 weeks, then last week EDD had to manually fix something with my certification and now I'm not sure what day to expect my payment. It's so stressful when you're trying to manage bills and expenses while on disability. Based on what everyone's saying here, it sounds like the payment day shift is permanent after manual processing, which is frustrating but at least predictable once you figure out your new day. I'm going to wait until tomorrow (Thursday) to see if my payment comes through, and if not I'll try calling EDD or maybe that Claimyr service someone mentioned. Thanks for posting this question - it's really reassuring to know this is a common issue and not something wrong with just my claim!

This is really helpful information! I'm currently on SDI and have been lucky not to have any payment issues so far, but it's good to know what to expect if EDD ever has to manually process something. The fact that the payment day shift seems to be permanent but consistent is actually reassuring - at least you can plan around it once you know your new schedule. It sounds like Wednesday is going to be your reliable payment day going forward based on everyone's experiences here. Thanks for asking this question because I'm sure a lot of people deal with this confusion after manual payments!

I went through this exact same situation about 4 months ago! My SDI payments were coming on Wednesdays, then EDD had to manually process a payment due to a certification issue, and suddenly my payments shifted to Fridays permanently. At first I was really confused and stressed about it, but after reading through EDD's website and talking to a rep, I learned that this is just how their batch processing system works. When they do manual interventions, it can move your claim into a different payment batch cycle. The good news is that once you're in the new cycle, it stays consistent - I've been getting my payments every Friday like clockwork since then. So yes, it sounds like Wednesday is going to be your new permanent payment day! It's annoying for budgeting at first, but once you adjust your bill payment schedule, it becomes just as reliable as your old Tuesday schedule was.
