EDD SDI payment shows as issued but Money Network card shows $0 balance - when will funds appear?

This is totally normal! There's usually a 1-2 business day delay between when EDD marks a payment as "paid" and when it actually posts to your Money Network card. I've been on SDI twice in the last year and both times it took about 24-48 hours after the payment showed in my account before the funds were available on the card. If it was marked paid today, I'd expect to see it on your card by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

mine took 3 days the first time and only 1 day for all the payments after that. dont worry its coming

The Money Network card can be frustrating! I had the same issue last month. The key thing to know is that the first payment typically takes longer to process than subsequent payments. Here's what I learned: - First payments can take 1-3 business days to appear on your card after showing as "paid" in the system - Subsequent payments usually appear within 24 hours - Payments processed on Friday often don't show up until Monday or Tuesday - You can set up alerts on the Money Network app to notify you when deposits are made Also, make sure you've activated your card properly! Some people miss a step in the activation process and that can delay access to funds.

The EXACT same thing happened to me in January!!! My payment showed as issued on a Tuesday, but didn't appear on my card until Thursday afternoon. I called EDD like 50 times and couldn't get through to anyone. It was SO stressful because I needed the money for rent too. But it did eventually show up! The Money Network system is just really slow to update sometimes. Did you try calling the number on the back of the card? They might be able to tell you if the transfer is pending.

If you need to reach an EDD representative to check on your payment status, I'd recommend trying Claimyr (claimyr.com). I was in the same situation last month - payment showed issued but nothing on my card for days. I tried calling EDD myself for two days straight without getting through, then used Claimyr and got connected to an agent in about 25 minutes. They have a video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd The agent was able to see exactly when the payment would hit my card and confirmed it was in process. Saved me days of anxiety wondering where my money was!

ur supposed to get a special email from money network too when the deposit hits. check ur email spam folder maybe???

Just checking back - did your payment show up on your Money Network card yet? Most first payments appear within 48 hours, so hopefully you've received your funds by now.

So glad to hear your money finally came through! I'm actually dealing with a similar situation right now - my SDI payment showed as issued yesterday but still nothing on my Money Network card. Reading through all these comments is really reassuring that this is just how the system works. It's crazy that EDD doesn't make this clearer when you first get approved - they should definitely tell people about the 1-3 day delay for first payments. Would have saved me a lot of stress! Thanks for updating us on the outcome.

I went through this exact same stress last fall when I was on SDI for a knee surgery! My first payment showed as "issued" on a Wednesday but didn't hit my Money Network card until Friday evening - felt like forever when you're counting on that money. What helped me was setting up the push notifications in the Money Network app so I got an alert the second the deposit posted. After that first payment though, all my subsequent payments came through within 24 hours like clockwork. The initial delay seems to be standard across the board from what I've experienced and heard from others. Definitely nerve-wracking when it's your first time dealing with the system, but it will come through!

This whole thread is such a lifesaver! I'm currently waiting on my first SDI payment for a back injury and was starting to panic when I saw "issued" in my EDD account yesterday but nothing on my Money Network card. Reading everyone's experiences here has really calmed my nerves - sounds like 24-48 hours is totally normal for that first payment. The fact that EDD doesn't explain this delay upfront is really frustrating, especially when you're already stressed about finances while unable to work. Going to be patient and check again tomorrow morning. Thanks to everyone who shared their timelines - this kind of real-world info is so much more helpful than anything on the official EDD website!
