EDD just authorized my SDI payment - how many days until it hits my account?

mine took 3 days last time. depends on ur bank tho

With direct deposit, it typically takes 2-3 business days after authorization for the funds to appear in your account. Remember that weekends don't count as business days. If your payment was authorized on a Friday, you might not see it until Wednesday. Also, the first payment often takes slightly longer than subsequent payments. If it's been more than 5 business days, you should contact EDD to make sure there isn't an issue with your banking information. Sometimes the routing or account numbers get entered incorrectly, or your bank might put a hold on the deposit.

When I was on SDI last year it took 4 business days every time. But my sister got hers in 2 days with a different bank. The EDD website says to allow up to 5 business days before contacting them.

It's so incredibly stressful waiting for disability payments when you have bills coming due! I remember refreshing my bank app like 20 times a day when I was waiting for mine. For what it's worth, my payments always took exactly 3 business days after the authorization date. If you're concerned about making rent, maybe talk to your landlord now and explain the situation - most are understanding about disability delays if you communicate in advance.

If you're getting worried or it's been more than 5 business days, I'd recommend trying to call EDD directly to check if there's any issue. When I had a payment delay, it turned out there was a flag on my account I didn't know about. I struggled for days to get through on the phone lines until I found a service called Claimyr (claimyr.com) that helped me get through to an actual EDD representative quickly. They have a demo video that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ?si=1hcSq3KFtCr4oAmd The rep was able to see exactly what was happening with my payment and resolve the issue right away. Saved me weeks of waiting and stressing.

My first payment took 4 business days, but all the other ones came in 2-3 days like clockwork. The first one might take longer because they're setting everything up. If Monday comes and you still don't have it, definitely call. The EDD system is so frustrating sometimes!
